A Missional Non/Conference: Calling All Missional Leaders/Practicioners Together For Encouragement and Cooperative Learning

Uh, well … it’s happening. The 2nd annual “Seeding Missional Communities” Learning Commons. It’s a non/conference – meaning we don’t charge money, we don’t sell books, we don’t promote books (not that books are a bad thing 🙂 ), it’s been organized organically (please don’t expect a big show) and we have no paid speakers. We gather for encouragement, some short presentations from people actually doing it, serious discussion and prayer. We now have enough signed up to pull this off on January 3rd, in Ft Wayne Indiana. For more information see my post here. For information on where to go – see Ben’s post here – where you can get directions and a hotel to stay at a decent price if you want to hang out Friday night with some of us who are coming in about 9 p.m. Friday night. Everyone is welcome, but if you are coming and you haven’t e-mailed me, please do (fitchest@gmail.com) just so we won’t be surprised by how many more people show up. Thanks to everyone who has made this possible. I’ll still be e-mailing back every one who e-mailed me. But all the info you need is in these links. And BTW, pass the word. Ben did a banner you can use that I’ve embedded in this post.Blessings all, looking forward to being with y’all and hanging out.
