After the art tour this weekend (see post below), we’ll be meeting at Daniel and Keren’s at 6:30pm.  They live in the garden-level apartment at 118th and Pleasant - address is 335 Pleasant Ave.  We realize this is later than normal for a Sunday night but consider it a special occasion.  It should be an amazing time especially following the excitement of the art tour.  You might also consider coming early and enjoying some of the pieces before we gather.  Please bring your dinner with you and be ready to dive into the community of believers we’ve been so blessed with.  Questions - call Andy at 405.921.6411.

Keep going in faith,
Jessica

Yo Friends,

This next coming weekend (Oct. 4-5) is the Harlem Open Artist Studio Tour 2008.  daniel Baltzer (dB) will be participating as his own personal home studio will be a stop on the tour.  daniel is a very talented painter, a good friend, and part of our church plant.  As a group, we have been praying for daniel to experience more freedom in his painting and for favor in the art world.  This Tour is one of a few invitations daniel has recieved lately to display (and hopefully sell) more of his art.  If you are in the neighborhood that weekend, jump into the tour and check out his and other Harlem artists’ works.  If you want a preview of daniel’s work you can go to http://dbaltzer.com/pages/thumb_pages/broadcast.html.  And for more information on the Tour go to http://www.hoast.org/.

A few words about ‘broadcast’ the series from dB…

Begun in May 2006, broadcast is a series of paintings that explore the use of communication technology to create and maintain social networks around the world. This technology has the potential to weave people, ideas and culture into a single dynamic fabric. To participate in this process involves taking risks, as children do when they play. Children use play earnestly as an opportunity to explore and connect, creating the framework by which they learn and make more complex decisions, while staying adaptive. Communication through play is a basic element to understanding the world and the link we have to society through the networks we have formed.

Sept 29-Oct 1, Bridgeway will be hosting a Leaders Pilgrimage for some church leaders coming from all over the country.  They’re coming to check out how we do life and mission together in our communities, so we’ll be switching up our regular schedule just a bit so we can invite them to experience our hc.

We usually meet on the 2nd & 4th Sundays, but instead of meeting Sunday Sept 28th, we’ll meet Tuesday Sept 30th at 6:30pm at the Crawford’s house.  We’ll be having pizza and lots of FUN!  Call Ron & Su (216-0805) or Mark & Melissa (285-7531) for more info.

What an amazing blessing our times have been the past month.  We are certainly seeing the benefits of why God wired us with different giftings for His glory and how He uses those to bless and encourage His children.  Our gathering this week will be on…

SATURDAY, September 27
Time:  6:30pm*
Place:  The Biddy’s, 42 W. 120th (between Lenox & 5th Ave)
Questions:  Andy 405.921.6411
*We’ll enjoy dinner together so come hungry.

We will have special guests Aaron & Kelly Long (and baby Michael).  We can’t wait for you to meet them and look forward to them bringing a slice of God’s heart for the body in NYC.  They have been fervant intercessors for us and the people of New York and I know they are really looking forward to being with us.  This gathering is open to everyone so even if you haven’t been able to come in the past, jump in!

Blessings,
Jessica

We are so thankful for the visitors who have come to see us and support what is happening in NYC.  This past week Tim Ulrich and Lance Humphreys stopped in for a few days.  Their time here was such a blessing to us and the gathering of believers.  God has been churning even more of a heart for Him and His church and it felt like this past week blew more fire on those coals.  We’re praying for more!  Thank you for praying with us.

Jessica & Andy

This week we will meet at our place, 42 W. 120th, Apt. 7C at 1 pm.  Lunch will be provided.  If you would like to bring something to drink or a dessert, that would be most helpful.  We will begin worship at 2 pm sharp! See you soon…
