Ei Network Update


Greetings,

The advent of Fall brings changes at Ei...
    • Introducing the streamlined monthly communication from Ei.
    • NYC-metro folks -- this email is designed for you. Expect one more email each month as an event reminder.
    • Live outside NYC and not able to attend our local events, then please email us at cfw@redeemer.com to receive a general ministry newsletter.
    • CFW's Executive Director, Katherine Leary, was married to John Alsdorf on June 26! Sadly, we've said goodbye to both Sonja Chen and Luann Jennings. We will miss them both.
On behalf of the CFW staff, we look forward to an exciting month ahead. May the gospel be made real as we live as one community.

Sincerely,

Calvin Chin

No one's role or vocation - from Tim Keller's to the most recent college grad - is more important than another in the eyes of God.

Each month features a renowned speaker who will help us understand:
      • Why our work matters in light of Redemption
      • Why theology is critical in the effective and nuanced engagement of our work
      • Why community is necessary for keeping our vision and perspective, and
      • Why the motivations and desires of our hearts lie at the core of our effective service
