Renew and The Well are co-hosting the Scripture & Culture Seminar on Saturday October 24, 2009 from 10 am to 4 pm at The Well in Feasterville, PA.

Theologian Karl Barth once said, “Christians should have their Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other.” This seminar was created on that premise – that the Church should be standing at the crossroads of faith and culture. The one-day event will feature two esteemed and nationally recognized missional thinkers.

In the morning, Dr. Darrell Guder (Dean of Academic Affairs at Princeton Theological Seminary and author of The Missional Church) will answer the question: How do we read and interact with Scripture as communities of faith? After lunch, Andy Crouch, author of the book Culture Making, will wrestle with the question: How do we read and interact with culture as communities of faith?

This event is open to everyone, especially those looking to engage the culture with the message of Jesus – as we are striving to do at Renew. A group of people from Renew will be attending and we would love for you to join us. More information about the seminar can be found here.

And the best part is that it only costs $15. You can register online here.

Souderton/Telford/Costa Rica

Originaly Posted on October 14, 2009
Cheryl Ensinger, a young lady a part of our community, just graduated with her nursing degree this summer. Check out what she wrote in a recent piece regarding her upcoming adventure:
According to the Keystone Opportunity Center in the Souderton/Telford area, approximately 469 Hispanic individuals and families were served in 2009 regarding assistance with case management, transportation, translation, interpretation and finances.

This number is astounding in the predominantly Caucasian and Mennonite-influenced area I grew up in. I’m realizing that not only are there people in need of grace, love, hope and help in various Spanish speaking countries of the world, they’re in our backyards as well. And the biggest barrier to loving and serving them is an inability to verbally communicate. I refuse to let that be a barrier.

To that end, the Lord had led and is providing a way for me to dream, and begin to learn Spanish fluently in Cost Rica for 3 months. The first two months will be with a group, Christian Immersion Spanish Academy (CISA) in the mountains of central Costa Rica. The last month will be with a group, CPI Spanish Immersion School, where I will be studying Medical Spanish in various locations around Costa Rica.”
Cheryl is looking for people who will partner with her in this adventure, both prayerfully and financially.
