If you can believe it, the women this church Matinicus Island Church are raising money for charity and to install plumbing in the church using a "tastefully done" calendar ala the calendar girls movie.
I wonder if any were bought for the walls of the church. Go figure it strange but true?

I just noticed that Slice of Laodicea: is on the rampage again wiith their/his particular perspective on Christianity, recently he has attacked Christians doing yoga, Rob Bell, Willow Creek, and now all things emergenct in a critique of Anne Lamott for endorsing a book my Mary Willaimson. He included a link in his post to this blog as evidence. His issue Anne Lamott,
This enthusiastic bunch bash and trash anything and everything that doesn’t fit their very narrow view of "church". Tehy don’t look at context or even try to see beyond anything that doesn’t meet withtheir approval. One good thing is everyone one is fair game for their attacks. They are equal opportunity attackers. Seem their slice of Laodicea could use a good dose of grace.
I just don’t get it. If you do let me know, clue me in.

Here’s a new blog on community ministry (being the presence of Christ by serving your community) something that is a core value of the church a lead. Take a look there is some good stuff there. Here’s a excerpt
Giving Skin to God - Volunteers In Service Blog Believe it or not, the core energy - the motivating passion - for the work of the Equipping Church Network finds its source in the truth of the incarnation. We often get asked why we are so committed to church-based ministry in the community, and we ultimately get back to the One whom we worship, the One who has become one of us, the One who has become particular and concrete in the person of Jesus the Christ, the One who continues to become concrete in particular communities of faith, the One who continues to have "a body" through his people in specific locations. God certainly is actively present in the world in a multitude of ways, but he is "given skin" through local communities of Jesus-followers who are serious about his patterns of life i.e. humility, service, compassion, justice, and self-sacrificial love.
