Final 60.12 Gathering on March 22

Dear Friends,

This leg of the journey is almost at an end.  I believe this sacrifice of obedience by many of you has accomplished more than we can see right now.  One tangible result that I see in many people is a greater release of love for one another, and faith and hope that God will do something truly revolutionary with His church in our days.

If you've been following along from a distance or just coming as you were able, we'd encourage you to come for the last gathering.  It's going to be a time of summing up what God has been doing and of transferring His grace onto what He is saying and doing next.  

An "Assignment" for Tuesday

Since our first meetings, there has been a real focus on this question: "What would it mean for the church in New England to be "one as Jesus is one with the Father"? (John 17:21)  I think in our time together, we've made real progress in understanding and experiencing the answer to this question.

For our last gathering, we're inviting you to bring an offering: Write up a page of what this would look like based on what we've learned over the last year.  This could focus on many issues, but should be practical and specific (i.e. Unity among different language groups, process for discerning a regional vision, discerning internal barriers to loving each other, etc.  The sky is the limit--we're inviting you to dream big over the New England Church and we'll distill and share this corporate wisdom.

Many of us have a sense of excitement about this last gathering.  We're letting this particular formal expression (60.12) die, but we recognize that the journey will take on new form--the dreams of God's heart for His Church are seeming more and more inevitable as our faith rises to meet His word spoken over us.

March 22 at Park Street Church

Park Street is really a symbol, in many ways, of Biblical Christianity in New England and even in the nation.  It seems fitting for us to end our journey here.

Parking is a bit difficult: please plan your parking location ahead of time:  You can find all you need here: http://www.parkstreet.org/directions_parking

Finally, Please RSVP so that we can be prepared to feed you.  Especially in this final gathering, we're not sure how many to expect.  Just a quick reply "Yes" will suffice.
