the limited nature of singularity

consider Rollins push back against a singular voice.  what do you think?  how does the parable challenge or encourage the way forward for convergence as community effort.

essentials = donuts and shared life

November 15, 2009 // No Comments »

as a community - convergence continues to be shaped by a heart to ‘embrace restoration through hospitality, solidarity, and awareness.’ a part of that restoration is sharing life - not being an organization or a hierarchy or an effort of only a few. a sense of ‘one another’ - carrying for, bearing burdens of, serving, . . . it all paints the picture of each other investing life in the community.

take a look at Peter Rollins thoughts on sharing life . . . the donut — may very well be a vital “image” of leadership.

What stands out in these ideas?

SHOP GOOD Signup

August 11, 2009 // 1 Comment »

Below is a list of the respective jobs with dates/times and everyone who signed up on Sunday to help out with SHOP GOOD this week.  We will continue signups through Thursday.  Please just comment on this post to signup.  Btw, I was really excited about the response of people on Sunday night who want to be involved.  Thanks!!

1. Thursday Evening (~5:30-9pm)
TRANSPORTING STORE MATERIALS
All of the stuff is stored at Heart of God (in Midwest City).  Last month we loaded everything and assembled the entire store all during the day on Friday.  It was a long day, with temps around 105F.  So, since during traditional work hours it is hard to get helpers, I was thinking we could load up the stuff and haul it over to the space on Thursday evening.  We need to try to leave the Space by 5:30pm, if possible.
What to Expect?  Loading van/cars with lumber, bins, etc.  Transport to the Convergence space.  Unloading materials.

Who?  Gary, Scott, one of the Wynns, Kevin/Andrea?

2. Friday Afternoon (~1-4pm)
BUILDING STORE
If we can get the materials over on Thursday night, then I think we can knock out building the booths/market in about 3hrs.
What to Expect?  Assembling/screwing wood frames.  Draping and stapling fabric.  Decorating booth spaces.  Labeling, pricing, and displaying merch.

Who?  Gary, Kara, and Marcus

3. Friday Late Night (~10:30pm-1:00am)
STORE TEARDOWN
With a big crew, we can probably  finish a little sooner!
What to Expect?  Basically the same as #2, except disassembly. Cleanup the space and get ready for Saturday event rental.

Who? Gary, Aaron, Fleximaniac, Scott, Kevin

SHOP GOOD is Friday night from 7-11pm.  Come hang out, meet people, and buy some really cool stuff for some really good causes.
