missio is a gathering of emerging church leaders, mainline leaders, and Fresh Expressions practitioners, for conversation and collaboration in (re) imagining church in ways that are radically incarnational and contextual to embody the Gospel and Reign of God in today's culture.  

missio is an opportunity for people in traditional congregations to dialogue with leaders of emerging Christianity, to discover innovative resources for building community through radical hospitality, emergent worship, and missional church planting within a postmodern and post-secular world. missio will explore what it means to be what the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, calls a "mixed-economy church," where traditional congregations and new expressions of church work together to participate in God's mission in the world.  Bring a team from your congregation to missio and learn to engage God's mission in new and fresh ways!

The conference will be held at Christ Church Cathedral downtown, starting at 2pm Friday, September 30 and ending at 4:30 pm Saturday.

The conference is free for Grace Church members and friends, through the generosity of a friend of Grace. Register here, pay the registration online, and then email eGraceNotes@gracecollegehill.org to get reimbursed.   

We need to revitalize the finance committee and meet on a regular basis. I also would like the finance committee to take on the responsibilities of general financial matters, budget, and stewardship.

I would like the finance committee to begin meeting in September on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, which will be the 14th of September. The meeting time will be determined by the members of the committee.

Please consider whether you can serve on this committee. We need as many people as possible involved in these matters.
