January Cohort Cancelled

Hey all,
The January meeting of the Nashville Cohort is going to be cancelled due to (admittedly potential) inclement weather.
There is a chance that when the storm comes tomorrow we could all make it out, but there is a greater chance my children will be out of school. If they are I will need to be available to care for them as I'm sure many of our other members will be too.

So...

No meeting tomorrow and we'll be back February 4 with another midrash conversation about the hard words of Jesus in the woman at the well story from John 4.

Peace all,
D

Holy Innocents at the Cohort Thursday

Greetings all,
Our next Cohort gathering is this tomorrow, November 4 from 11:30-1:00pm at the Flying Saucer in the Pool Room:
11 10th Ave. South
(Located Behind Union Station)
Nashville, TN 37203

Topic: Following Christmas Day is a most troubling feast, the feast of Holy Innocents. This feast commemorates the slaughter of the first born perpetrated by King Herod.
It proposes a whole list of problems when we read that an angel warned Mary and Joseph to leave the town and escape this in Egypt, but not any one else. Our discussion will center around the readings for this feast day and how we might embrace this story as mission minded Christians in 2010. Preachers, bring your note books;)

Call in your lunch orders by 10:30am to ((615) 259-3039) if you can. The menu can be found here under the "Food" tab (http://www.beerknurd.com/stores/nashville)

Tokens: Hear the Plight

Hi all. A quick reminder that this Thursday is the final Tokens Show of the year, called Hear the Plight.



Even though I've only been able to go to one, I know the quality that goes on there, because of the people involved. Sheryl and I won't be able to be at this one, but having Scot McKnight, Ashley Cleveland, and Odessa Settles should make for a great evening. You can visit www.tokensshow.com for more info, but it will be a great night and if you're in Nashville, I highly recommend taking the time to attend.

Cohort Goes Techno this Thursday

Greetings all,
Our next Cohort gathering is this Thursday, September 3 from 11:30-1:00pm at the Flying Saucer in the Pool Room:
11 10th Ave. South
(Located Behind Union Station)
Nashville, TN 37203

Topic: Technology, Worship and the mission of God. Does our technology help or hinder worship. Is texting the pastor during a sermon a wonderful contextualization of the gospel, or something that makes us a worse kind of people? Taylor Burton Edwards (director of worship resources for the the UMC General Board of Discipleship) leads the conversation this week.
