Calendar Update
Posted By Aaron Marcelli on August 16, 2009
August 23rd – 26th I will be at Grove Level Baptist Church to hear Dr. Richard Blackaby. The son of Henry Blackaby, Richard is also an author as well as a former seminary president who communicates clearly through powerful stories.
September 10th – 14th I will be in Ohio to visit family and friends. I have not been up there since Christmas and am excited to see everyone. On the 12th I will be in Cincinnati for my friend Sherri’s wedding and the rest of the time will be spent in Canton (That’s right…..the home of the Football Hall of Fame and Relient K). I will go to church at my home church on the 13th. Canton Baptist Temple is a very conservative church though they are working hard to not be as traditional. They have been able to go through a transition few other churches have been willing and able to do successfully. They have even launched a second campus 20 miles north that meets in a movie theatre and boasts a much more casual and contemporary style.
November 21st – Donald Miller will be in Chattanooga to give a lecture in correlation with the release of his new book. Donald has emerged in the past few years as a voice for emerging young believers and has been able to infiltrate a Christian voice within the Democratic Party. Every time I hear him speak I am challenged to reevaluate my motives for ministry and the model of church we have created. You can buy tickets here after they are released.
Also, our church is currently doing the “You Asked For It”. This popular series being done by many contemporary churches in America allows the attendees to pick the subjects they would most like to hear discussed from the stage. I still think my pastor should let me speak the week alcohol is on topic. I actually received the preaching award at my college graduation for a message I gave on that subject in Preaching Workshop even though I took a position opposite my professor.
