(From Terry Timm)

Sisters and Brothers –

I hope all is well with you and that your preparations this Advent season are helping you move closer to Jesus and a great celebration of His coming into the world. Christ has come, Christ is present and Christ will come again!

Our next Emergent Pittsburgh gathering will take place on March 9-10, 2007 (wow: less than 3 months from today). Tim Keel has graciously accepted our invitation to be with us and address the topic of Missional Leadership.  Tim is the founding pastor of Jacob’s Well, a missional community located in Kansas City, MO. Tim received a BFA in Design from the University of Kansas, a Masters of Divinity from Denver Seminary and is passionate about creating spaces for people to connect to God, themselves and others. He serves on the board of directors for Emergent and is the author of a soon to be released book on missional leadership.

Block the days out now, share the word and keep your eyes on the Emergent Pittsburgh website for more details in the days ahead.

Grace and Peace in Christ - Terry
