“Paris Hilton, Nietzsche, and the Imitation of Christ”
Elm City Vineyard Church
Elm & Temple (basement of United Church on the Green)
Sunday, 1/27/08
4pm, talk & worship gathering
6pm, dinner
Sunday, Mark Jonas, a member of the Elm City Vineyard, is giving a special talk at our weekly gathering this week on what he calls "the defining crisis of our era." Mark, though given to hyperbole, indeed has a message that should really provide food for thought--and action. After the talk and our gathering, we'll be having dinner, which should provide a great opportunity for further discussion. Feel free to come to the talk, to the dinner, or both!
Hope to see you Sunday!

"Doing Church in the City" Dinner and Conversation with Mo Leverett at Matt & Hannah's
"Doing Church in the City"
Dinner and Conversation with Mo Leverett
Saturday, 1/26/08, 4:30-6:30
Matt & Hannah's place (79 Maple St #1)
RSVP to hannah@elmcityvineyard.org
Saturday, 1/26, at 4:30, we will have a special opportunity to have a conversation with Mo Leverett, founder of Desire Street Ministries in New Orleans, about the unique challenges presented by doing church in the city. He is in town for the weekend speaking at several Connecticut universities and has agreed to spend some time just with Elm City Vineyard folk, because of his passion for urban church planting. It should be a great time to seek further what God has for us in building His Kingdom in our city.
In 1990, Mo and his wife Ellen moved into the Upper 9th Ward of New Orleans, one of the city's most impoverished and crime-ridden areas. Mo began working as a high school football coach and leading home Bible studies for youth in the neighborhood. Over the next 15 years, he directed Desire Street Ministries, developing a multi-faceted ministry including a church plant, a medical clinic, alliances with local churches, an urban private Christian academy, a community center, and economic development initiatives. Since 2006, Mo has sought to help and inspire similar ministries in other cities through Rebirth International. Mo is also an accomplished bluegrass musician and original songwriter.
