About 20 of us are gathering on Saturday Jan 5th at Life on the Vine to talk “missional community germination.” The basic practices of “seeding Missional Communities.” Who will be there?: Missional community “planters” (or soon to be ) in Minnesota, Fort Wayne, Champaign as well as others including several leader-types from Life on the Vine.
We will gather at 8 a.m. and close by 3:30 p.m. We will have 4 20-minute presentations during the day and then extended times to talk, ask questions, pray, encourage and flesh out what this life looks like we have been called into by the grace of God. I will talk for about 15 minutes about the theology of all this, I will have someone talk about the process/theology/missiology of constructing a worship liturgy, someone talk about discipleship (Christian formational practices), someone talk about mission in the “hoods.”
Blessings David Fitch

Wishing I could be there David. Having lived in intentional community 79-81, striven to shape my ‘secular’ work into a vocational expression of faith, and now writing formational alternative worship liturgies that seek to draw aspects of worship, mission and community together, this gathering is striking multiple chords for me. Your writings in these areas have been a huge affirmation and assistance to me – to engage in this conversation would add another dimension.
Does this tie in with furthering the Missional Order of St. Fiacre?
This is important work David. Be encouraged, God bless and do well. My prayers are offered for this event and the ongoing outworking of this faith expression.
I can host someone or several someones. mariakirby@ameritech.net
