For anyone reading, I am excited to extend an invite to anyone interested… Karen Sloan will be spending an evening with us at First Presbyterian on Sunday, October 28 at 5:30pm. Karen has written a book, Flirting with Monasticism, and travels around the country speaking and connecting with various churches on areas of spiritual formation and the emerging church.

We will be having dinner together in Heritage Hall and will follow with conversation on spiritual formation and the emerging church. It will be very much a conversation, so come with questions and a desire to get to know others and be challenged. Our hope is to gather a number of groups from different churches and communities in Bend, Redmond, and Central Oregon. If you want more information, please leave a comment or contact me.

If you are a pastor or church leader, there may be opportunity for smaller group conversation on Monday. Again, contact me for more info.
