Hello,

We are pooling our efforts this month to send out only one newsletter to all, keeping it short & sweet for your summer enjoyment.

A few key items to highlight:

  • We are hard at work preparing for our very first GOSPEL & CULTURE CONFERENCE: NOV 4-5, 2011. Take a sneak peak at the website. We will need all hands on deck so please consider ways you can be involved, by leading a GLIMPSE Friday night or serving on a volunteer team on Saturday. Email interest to cfw@redeemer.com
  • The Arts Ministry was recently featured in Backstage Magazine! If you missed our exciting IAF in July, be sure to save the date for the next on Sept 12.
  • Our Vocation Group leadership teams have been busy planning for next year. All Vocation Groups will kick off in September. Details coming soon...
  • CFW is helping Redeemer move forward to beomce collegiate congregations by supporting “CATALYST” – a new & exciting church-wide initiative coming this fall!
We pray that you have found rest in the Lord during these summer months and encourage you to plunge deeply into the wellsprings of the Spirit’s restoring power.

Sincerely,
CFW Team ShotKatherine, Calvin, Maria, Kenyon, David, Amilee, & Chris
