Jesus Connection - December 2, 2006

On Saturday, December 2 our building will be the site for a Seminar on the “Jesus Connection.”

The Long Range Planning Committee is very excited to have the meeting here in our facility. We would like to have anyone from our church who are interested in thinking “outside the Box” about our future to attend.

If you are in the Sunday School Class is studying the book, “The Jesus Connection,” you have a rare chance to actually hear and visit with the author of the book, in our building!

Led by Jan Linn and David Digby, the workshop will introduce participants to an understanding of the church in the 21st Century that does not “settle” for Business-as-usual, but points to a deeper understanding of what it means to be Jesus’ Disciples in our time.

Both Jan and David are applying the concepts in their congregations, so it is not untested theory. You and the leaders you bring will come away with at least one solid perspective that will be worth the registration fee.

For more than 30 years, Jan Linn has been involved in building bridges between faith and action. A native of Virginia, early in his ministry he saw the disconnect between faith and racial and economic justice, faith and peace making, faith and respect for diversity in all its many forms. As both a college and seminary teacher, as well as a congregational pastor and activist, he has taught and preached a commitment to Christian discipleship that stands against judgmentalism, exclusivism, and moral superiority.

Since 1998 Jan has been serving as co-pastor of Spirit of Joy Christian Church, Lakeville, Minnesota, with his wife, Joy. This is a new church start that is seeking to be innovative and creative in its approach to high commitment membership in the tradition of the Church of The Savior in Washington, D.C.
