Christ Together Florida Pastors Luncheon
Christ Together is hosting a free lunch for pastors and churches in cities across Florida on Tuesday. Across the nation Pastors are coming to a common table to pray, learn, strategize and act in concert with God's mission in their geography. They are asking the question: "What would it look like to reach every man, woman and child in our city?" Gospel saturation will take a unique blend of strategies, churches, and leaders who share this same conviction and mission. Join us, and other Florida pastors, as we discuss what it would look like to reach every man, woman and child across Florida. RSVP for the free lunch by emailing info@christtogether.org.

Lutheran Church Planters Network Gathering
We'd love to connect with any Evangelical Lutheran Church in America folks who would like to explore becoming part of a budding network of church planters who are...
1. Holding a yearly Church Planters Training Intensive
2. Establishing a Church Planter Residency Program
3. Expanding the Lutheran Church Planters Network across the ELCA
We envision the church planters network as a peer-driven, action-oriented "network of networks" focused on promoting, equipping, and supporting church planters. This is a low-cost, relationship-based, and viral approach that can provide personal support, encouragement, accountability, and a developing esprit-de-corps. Local networks can be think tanks that share resources and best practices and can advocate for church planting in their area and provide opportunities for collaborative church planting. Our goal the next three years = 5-6 new local networks in several synods or metropolitan areas. For more info, check us out at lutheranchurchplanters.net.

Grab a lunch and join in the conversation!

Lunch with Bonhoeffer
Come and hear about the Bonhoeffer Project, a year long formative community that is based on many of the same principles employed by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Co-founders Bill Hull and Brandon Cook will lead a discussion on how this cohort helps participants develop a disciple making DNA and create a plan to make disciples who make disciples. They will also discuss exploring and building a gospel that naturally creates disciples and how to break out of non-discipleship discipleship plans, which are distiguishing features of the Bonhoeffer Project. Free copies of Bill's book, Conversion & Discipleship: You Can't Have One without the Other, will be given out to the lucky winners of a yet to be chosen lottery.

Please bring your lunch and we will discuss the Bonheoffer project as we eat.
