Gospel, Church and Culture Workshop
http://new-wineskins.org/events/2008/10/gospel-church-and-culture-workshop/
This Saturday OCT. 16 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM in Travis-Lovitt Hall
Suggested donation: $5.00 per individual Dr. Paul Louis Metzger and Dr. Brad Harper will be speaking about how the church is to minister in culture as the triune God’s kingdom community.
Metzger and Harper will address such questions as “What is the gospel?” “What should the church’s relation to culture be?” and “What difference does it make for the church in its ministry in the broader culture that it is the triune God’s kingdom community?” Tony Kriz will serve as the MC for the workshop. There will be ample time for Q&A during the proceedings. As Christ-followers committed to Christ’s church’s missional outreach, it is important that we exegete rightly the Bible as well as the culture into which we seek to communicate the gospel. Please join us, and help us wrestle with these important issues!

New Wine needs your help!

Sarah Kurth — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 01:43:13 +0000

It’s time to get get engaged! New Wine is in need of volunteers with various skills:

Graphic design: New Wine needs fliers, handouts, programs, and other print pieces for its various events throughout the year. This would be a great way for a student to earn Student Ministry credit, for a budding designer to get more practice, or for a practicing artist to creatively contribute to New Wine. We’ve got CS3, you bring the talent!

Administrative: New Wine has various bulk mailings to send out during the year: newsletters, event invitations, and other publications. If you like stickers and helping our community learn about New Wine, please consider giving a bit of time every couple of weeks to get together with others and stick labels on mailings.

Conference: If you like working behind the scenes at events, please consider volunteering some time to help with this year’s conference on Faith and the Arts. From strategic planning to hospitality to promotions to day-of activity, there’s much to get done before the Spring, and you can be a part of the planning and creation!

If you are ready to get involved or have questions, contact Sarah Kurth or stop by the New Wine office in Travis-Lovitt Hall.

How To Get Involved

Ross Halbach — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 01:47:05 +0000

Over the years the community of New Wine, New Wineskins has evolved in how we integrate students and non-students into participating in the Institute’s activities and events. While there are many activities that New Wine implements (forums, mentorships, conferences, discussions) which address various contemporary issues, the heart of New Wine is a community of people that long to bear witness (point) to Christ in contemporary culture. The key to becoming involved with and active in New Wine is by attending the events where our community is formed. There are two main gatherings that constitute the core of the New Wine community from which the New Wine activities take life:

Monday Night Dinners. Every Monday night from 6-8 PM we meet 2 miles south of Multnomah’s campus at 2741 SE 87th Ave to share a potluck dinner together with people from diverse backgrounds. The first hour is spent sharing a meal with one another and the second is spent sharing our lives with one another. This dinner is open to both Christian and non-Christian, religious or non-religious. Come ready to listen and engage people and stories from a diversity of backgrounds and beliefs. If you are interested in helping cook a main entree please contact Laura Mettler at lmettler@multnomah.edu.

New Wine Discipleship Groups (Male and Female). The women will be meeting at Laura Mettler and Kelsi John’s house at 5513 SE Yamhill on Wednesday at 6:45 PM. The men will be meeting at the A-Frame every other Friday Morning from 8-10 AM beginning Sept. 26th. These smaller groups form the heartbeat of our community as we get to know one another, while we discuss and struggle through how we as followers of Christ can best bear witness to Christ in contemporary culture. For more information on the women’s group please contact Crystal Santos crystalksantos@gmail.com or for the men’s group please contact Ross Halbach ross.halbach@gmail.com.
