THE RESCUE– APRIL 25th

Posted: April 24 2009

ic-therescue-large.jpgTHE RESCUE:

On Saturday, 100,000 people will come together around the world in 100 cities to stand in solidarity with over 30,000 children that have been abducted and forced to fight a senseless 23 year long war by the Lord’s Resistance Army in East Africa.  We will be waiting to be rescued by a person of great cultural influence on that night.

We will not be leaving until someone of great cultural influence comes and rescues us.  There will be 1900+ young people in attendance on Saturday, and as many as possible will continue to wait it out for our rescuer if no one comes on Saturday evening.

We are meeting at 3:00 PM on Saturday at the corner of Jefferson and Hyde Streets to walk to East Beach (near Crissy Field), where we will be waiting for our rescuer from around 4:00 PM Saturday until as long as it takes.  If you would like to watch the video that better explains the situation, you can find it online at www.therescue.invisiblechildren.com

Don’t sleep through the revolution.

Creating Community… in the way of Jesus

Posted: April 1 2009

Two meeting nights & locations available in San Francisco:

Tuesdays April 21-May 26, 7-9 P.M.  (Richmond/Haight)
Wednesdays April 22-May 27  7-9 P.M. (Mission District)

Cost: $60-$120 Sliding Scale

In an age of high mobility and social fragmentation, we search for ways to connect with one another around our deepest values and highest aspirations. Our longings for “community” are charged with great hope and too often, with deep disappointments.  What did Jesus model and teach about our life together? And what skills and practices help us cultivate generative Christ-conscious relationships?

In this Learning Lab participants will:

•    Explore what Jesus taught about our life together.
•    Experiment with core relational postures taught by Jesus (service, humility, forgiveness, reconciliation, mercy, discernment, love, honor, integrity & mutual submission)
•    Practice skills essential to Christ-conscious group life (hospitality, prayer, midrash, collaboration & common table)

This Learning Lab is a launching pad for ReIMAGINE Tribe’s experiment. At the conclusion of this workshop, participants may opt to attend a weekend retreat and join a ReIMAGINE Tribe for the summer.
