first meeting of the new year


howdy folks -

it looks like we were off to a good start in 2007, but we're hoping to really get the ball rolling this year.

sooooo....our first meeting for this year is gonna be Sunday night January 20th at 6 pm

the very tentative location will be at my house - the others have been at a bar and at Starbucks - so we can try this and see what happens.

directions : mapquest 9577 Wards Rd. Rustburg, VA 24588...1 mile south of Foster Fuels on hwy 29 south. it will be the house in between the small Verizon building and the church - call me if u need help (434.258.1974)

a couple notes:

- bring Dan Kimball's 'They like Jesus but not the church" if you have it, and if not, consider buying it

- think about attending the Washington DC stop of Brian McLaren's Everything Must Change tour. visit deepshift.org


RSVP if you plan on coming to the cohort meeting on jan 20th!

hosting the cobalt season....

i'm pretty excited. one of my new favorite
groups is on a tour of sorts (doing coffee joints, churches, house shows) and they are passing through central virginia.
my family (and our cohort) will be hosting them in our home for a fun night of music, fellowship, and conversation.


they have been featured on Emergent Village and much credit goes to Brian Mclaren for the following endorsement:


“I just got back from Africa and have been listening to In Search of a Unified Theory nonstop for a couple days. I’m totally blown away. I really liked "But I Tell You", but this one just soars. The lyrics are powerful. The songs themselves are so strong, so well structured. The vocals are perfect. And the arrangements are completely amazing. I thought of several of my favorite bands - Innocence Mission, the Weepies, and Sigur Rós. This CD should win a bunch of awards. Thanks for making it, man!”


the event will be on november 5th and Ill keep you posted with more details

next (2nd) meeting

Central VA is looking ahead to its 2nd meeting on June 7th, 7:00 at the new Starbucks on Timberlake Rd. Its the one right beside Blockbuster video...please feel free to email me if you need directions from out of town.

We will be discussing the direction and goals of our group. Last time we decided on a book to discuss (Dan Kimball's new book "They like Jesus, but not the Church"), but if you haven't already bought the book you may want to hold off until we make a more "official" decision.

please feel free to post an RSVP or some other thoughts you may have...see you next week!
