A special message from Mike Clawson, Chicago emergent cohort coordinator:
A church of 10,000 people that meets in a mall...
A small urban community that meets in an art gallery...
An African-American church on the south-side of Chicago...
Web communities that connect tens of thousands of people...
What do all of these have in common? They are all emerging faith communities discovering what it means to be missional in their own unique context. AND they will all be represented at the first Midwest Emergent Gathering, July 20-21 in the suburbs of Chicago, IL. Come learn from Tony Jones, Denise Van Eck, Spencer Burke, Nanette Sawyer, Doug Pagitt, and Alise Barrymore & James King and many other missional practitioners from a wide diversity of backgrounds as we learn together about "Creating Missional Communities."
Contribute to the conversation as we discuss, network, and learn in community together via fast-paced mainstage sessions, interactive workshops, and unstructured times for dialogue with old or new friends. Whether mainline or evangelical, emerging or traditional, high church or de-churched, you will find inspiration and ideas to help you and your faith community become more effective agents for the mission of God in this hurting world.
If you and others from your cohort would like to attend, the cost is only $40/person before June 1st and $60 after that.Also, if any of you would like to be involved with helping us make this conference happen, please let me know at emergentmidwest@gmail.com, as we'll need plenty of volunteers during the event and before.
