Missional in Suburbia Seminar
I thought that I would post this in case there are any readers from the Philly area.
“God always shows up in the most God-forsaken places.”
—Alan Roxburgh
In some ways, it doesn’t get any more God-forsaken than suburban America. This “Missional In Suburbia” seminar will take a look at two important topics: Suburbia and the Church. For some people, there is a sentiment that its impossible to really be the church in the ‘burbs. But for others, we believe that this is the place that God has called us. If we are going to stay, we need to ask what it means to “be the church” in a culture that is defined by comfort, consumerism, isolation, wealth, strip malls and hidden poverty.
This one-day seminar will focus on the development and culture of suburbia and the opportunities and challenges that this context presents the Church. We are honored to have Al Hsu, author of The Suburban Christian, lead the discussion along with some other local pastors and thinkers.
This one-day conference is open to all and will be helpful for pastors, lay leaders, and members of congregations. Our goal is to have some substantial discussion around practical issues that relate to the everyday practice of the Church and the Christian life.

Well see. Although the Falcons beat us decisively & we choked last night, I still think the Dolphins are a good team that will compete for their division title this season. The Falcons are immediately a championship caliber team. Theyre playing killer defense and the BC QB has shown that he is no fluke. Adding Tony Gonzalez has made their offense a force to be reckoned with. I dont feel so badly about losing to them; I feel badly because we were entirely ill-prepared for that game. The Falcons will likely play the Giants for the NFC title. We played well against the Colts in most phases of the game. We just failed to clamp down on defense in the clutch & failed to execute on offense in the clutch. If we play well at San Diego next week and win, you will see that type of play from Miami for the rest of the season. No fluke, baby.. Well be in the hunt in December for that East crown.
