JW Community, We need your help!

I am writing to you this day, first to ask you to hold us up in prayer and second to take my hand and walk with Mark and I as a community and take hold of the mission God has set before us. 

Jacob's Well, a sensual community

This probably won't turn out like you think, if you're just clicking on this because of the title:) We talk about experiencing God with our whole being. In order to do that, we need to use all of our senses. Hence, "sensual"...here's a little different spin on the concept as it pertains to Jacob's Well:

Taste what real and honest community can be like

Touch othes who are journeying just like you

Smell the sweet scent of worship

Bike/Walk to Work Day, 5/14

I've always thought that riding bike is cool. You may not know this, but the week of May 12 through 18 is Bike/Walk to Work Week. Minneapolis is really pushing this event as a good way to get some exercise and get to know your neighbors. This is a great opportunity to support our community and get the word out about who is Jacob's Well.

It can happen!

This email came to me the other day from someone in the J's W community who is in a Group reading Shane Claiborne's The Irresistible Revolution. I asked permission to post it on the Wall - which I received, so here it is, edited just enough to make it anonymous...

Living Green Expo

Hey all,

There's a Living Green Expo this weekend (May 3-4) at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds. I'm excited by how Jacob's Well is trying to "go green," and I thought some of you might be interested in this. I know I'm going to stop by... they've got it all -- personalized bike-to-work routes, even earth-friendly event planning. :o)

Let the people of Jacobs well represent at the Capital this Thursday!

Let's put on our Jacobs Well T-Shirts and represent the Bopdy of Christ at Jacobs Well.

Just an FYI, that the National Day of Prayer is this Thursday May 1st at the State Capitol from 11:30-1:00.

Project Homeless Connect on 4/28

I went to the training for Project Homeless Connect last week (the actual event is this Monday 4/28) - it was eye opening and very well done. I encourage everyone to read more about this project - links to more info and reflections from another Jacob's Weller here.

Anyone planning on volunteering on Monday ...Interested in a carpool or a bike pool? Meet at the JW office at 8:25 - we'll leave right at 8:30 for the convention center!
