Top 10 Reasons to Come to This Saturday’s Justice Seminar

j2j get compelled

Here’s a reminder for you that our upcoming Justice Seminar, Journey Towards Justice, is happening this Saturday, April 17 from 9:00am-12:00pm.

Here are my top 10 reasons for coming:

10. Do the words “interactive webinar” mean anything to you? If so, let us know, and we’ll try to make it one of those.

9. Hear exciting stories from around the world that don’t involve a slide projector. Next slide.

8. It’s only $5. You can’t go to a 3-hour movie for that much.

7. It will give you a chance to get inside…this weather is a little too nice, if you ask me.

6. Barry does not have his own channel on Hulu. You won’t be able to DVR it (or tape it, like my mom says…hi mom) or watch it later. This is a one-time gig.

5. We promise to share fewer than 10 depressing facts about poverty.

4. Saturdays are the perfect day to get wrecked. You’ll have the rest of the weekend to recover before going back to work on Monday.

3. This guy. –> (and a few of his fellow travelers)

2. Jesus (this is for everyone who went to Sunday School growing up…Jesus is always the right answer).

1. Through stories of hope in the midst of despair, God wants to reveal the next steps in your journey towards justice.

If you’re not convinced by now to click here and register, I’m not sure we’re going to win you over. We hope to see you on Saturday morning. Feel free to contact me with any questions… curtish(at)gracecc.org.

Journey Towards Justice

This weekend we’ll be announcing our upcoming Justice Seminar, Journey Towards Justice on Saturday, April 17 from 9:00am-noon at Grace. Registration is now live on Grace’s website.

We’re thrilled to have Barry Rodriguez from World Next Door as our guest speaker. Right now he is living on the streets of New York City. His accounts are eye-opening and have really been wrecking me. Check out World Next Door to read all about it.

We wanted to give you all the first chance to register since you already have a passion for justice and a desire to live a life compelled by Christ and his kingdom.

Invite everyone you know. We hope to see you there.

Justice in the Burbs

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.
