2. Re-Imaging Re-Duex : Join Us June 9th at the Front Page
   
   
   Greetings one and all. Hope you had as glorious a Pentecost Sunday as I did.
   
   We will gather this coming Tuesday June 9th at the Front Page for a debreif on the re-imagining meeting for Emergent that happen here in DC the last week of April. Mike Stavlund will lead us on this journey.
   
   So meet us at the Front Page at 7pm on Tuesday June 9th for burgers and beer and some good conversation (and a pretty neat community I might add).
   
   The Front Page is located directly across from the Dupont Circle metro stop.
   
   Kindly drop me a line and let me know you are coming so I can get a big enough table. ssheppard@wesleyseminary.edu
   
   Thanks muchly.
   
   peace,

3. As the Village Turns... or something like that - Tuesday May 12
   
   
   As many of you know, Emergent Village has been in a place of discernment over the last 6 or so months. A group of emerging leaders met here in DC a couple weeks ago to discuss, discern, dream and try to make sense out things. Our own Mike Stavlund was among the organizers.
   
   
   
   
   On Tuesday May 12 we will gather at the Front Page in Dupont Circle to continue the current conversation and to hear about the conversation that took place a few weeks ago. This is a dynamic time in the life and times of the Emergent Village and like a village, each of us as a part to play in its future.
   
   
   
   
   Amy Moffitt will be with us to debrief on the gathering that took place in April. You can read more about Emergent Village here.
   Please join us!

   Also - it would be great if you could let me know if you plan on coming so I can make sure to have a big enough table. Many thanks! ssheppard@wesleyseminary.edu

4. Post Emergent gathering Sunday lunch
   Most of you likely know about the Emergent gathering that is happening this Saturday to determine the future greatness of Emergent. But maybe you don't know about the post-gathering-fiesta at Guapos in Bethesda on Sunday (4/26) at 1pm. Many folks from the gathering will be there to connect, relax, and let us know what strategy Emergent has decided for taking over the world! We wouldn't want the DC Cohort to miss out on that so consider yourself invited!
   
   RSVP to jason, jason@collegeparkchurchplant.com.
   
   grace,

5. April 14th Gathering being led by Kate Murray
   So what exactly happened on the cross? What happened on Good Friday? On Easter Sunday?
   Some say Jesus took our place, paid the price, and redeemed us in the eyes of an angry God. Others say he cured humanity of a great illness, the sickness of sin. Still others aren't sure.
   
   Join us April 14th at the Front Page at 7pm as we discuss one of the most debated and discussed topics in Christianity - what happened on the cross and the various atonement theories. What’s helpful for understanding Jesus’ death and resurrection and what isn’t so helpful, possibly even detrimental to our faith.
   
   Thanks to Kate Murray for leading the discussion this month. If you have a topic, book idea, burning question or even something slightly heretical that you'd like to take the lead on, let us know.
