Next Meeting Coming Up

Our Next CPN is right around the corner and so make your plans now!

Date: Thurs. March 26
Time: Noon- 2:30 or so.
Location: The Acts 2 House in Roanoke.
Lunch provided.

Directions:

This is how I (Doug) go, there may be a better way- you can ask Matthew.

From 81:

Take 581/220 into Roanoke
Get off at the Elm Ave. Exit- make a right onto Elm Avenue
After turning right, get over into the left lane- you will be going straight, but the right lane becomes a right turn only lane.
Turn right onto Franklin Road
Make a left onto 3rd Street
Make a left onto Luck Avenue
The Acts 2 House is on the left- gray building with mural painted on it.

This is the location that Matthew Murphy's plant, All Nations Metro, meets and the building out of which he runs their food ministry to the homeless.

That being the case, it seems fitting that we decided to discuss the church's obligation to serve the poor around us- what are the biblical expectations for us to follow, how much is enough? how much is too much?

As a guide to our conversation, I'm going to ask that you print out and read over- and be prepared to discuss- Capital Hill Baptist's position paper on the poor. You may not agree with everything in it- if not, be prepared to make your case.

As with last time, we will meet at noon and go until about 2:30- it all depends upon the conversation.


I'm looking forward to seeing all of you there.

Doug

I want to remind you all of the NAMB Developing and Managing People Workshop at Liberty hosted by SBCV.

as Larry Black says, "If you plan to enlist student missionary interns to serve with you, you need this training."

April 18, 9 AM - 4 PM with Lunch and snacks.

Limited Seating - RSVP ASAP - contact me - solovskoy@hotmail.com

See you all next time, I pray.
