On Saturday, September 26, we are holding our next Justice Seminar. We are excited to have the privilege of hosting Will and Lisa Samson, co-authors of Justice in the Burbs: Being the Hands of Jesus Wherever You Live . We’re excited because we believe the message of the book will really resonate with people in our community.

After you watch Will and Lisa’s video (see below) discussing their motivation to write Justice in the Burbs, consider purchasing the book. It is available at Grace’s bookstore, Lightsource, or you can find it on Amazon. I think if you read the book before they come, we’ll have a much more in depth conversation about how to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

September 26…

Registration is not live yet (cost will be $5/person), but if you’re interested in attending, please mark your calendars from 9:00am-12:00pm on Saturday, September 26. Then, consider telling anyone else who may be interested and bring a whole group of friends with you. Awesome. Hope to see you there.

Are you looking for a good read this summer? Maybe you’re looking for something to get you compelled. This may be right up your alley…

A few of us on the Outreach team are reading Richard Stearns’ new book, The Hole in Our Gospel. Stearns is the current president of World Vision. His career path found him as CEO of companies like Parker Brothers and Lenox. How in the world did someone go from driving Jaguars and living in a ten bedroom house to spending time in Uganda with AIDS orphans? The story of how Rich made the leap from corporate big cheese to leading a nonprofit organization itself is worth reading the book…he’s got quite a story.

To hear Rich explain his motivation for the book, watch this video:

I think I got a little bit fired up just watching that…

If you would like to get inspired by this book, you can check it out on Amazon or pick it up at your local bookstore…There are a few copies at Lightsource, Grace’s bookstore (but they’re going fast).
