EMMAUS ROAD: A Bay Area Emergent Cohort
Monday, March 27, 6:30-9:30 PM in San Carlos



Friends,

We have enjoyed some wonderful conversation and made many new friends at our first couple of Emmaus Road Gatherings. This month on March 27 we will gather for dinner and discussion at the home of Bob and Lisa Carlton in San Carlos. If you would like to come please RSVP to nate@reimagine.org. These dinners are owned by all of us, including the food and the discussion, so please bring a dish to share.

Dinner & Discussion: Monday February 20, 6:30-9:30 PM
(Burnett home – 185 Kimberlin Heights Drive, Oakland)

Last month many of us gathered at the Scandrette home for dinner and conversation, and we continue our rhythm of meeting together for a potluck meal and facilitated discussions at rotating locations throughout the Bay Area.

If you would like to attend please RSVP to nate@reimagine.org by February 15th. Please also think about how you would like to contribute to the meal and to the conversation. Let us know what food you would like to bring for the potluck and if there is a certain topic you would like to see discussed.

First Emmaus Road Gathering

Monday night 25-30 of us crammed into the Scandrette home. We ate, met, discussed, connected, read Matthew 16 and prayed together. After dinner we split into 2 discussion groups. Some topics that seemed to be popping up throughout the night: a Kingdom theology, post-congregational community, living an integrated and holistic life and social justice. If you have a comment or question to follow up on the night, please post it here. We'll meet again February 20th in Oakland at the Burnett house.

Welcome to Emmaus Road

Emergent is, at its core, about friendships. We are naming the cohort which began in the fall Emmaus Road. On Emmaus Road two people walked together, discussing the life and teachings of Jesus and struggling to make sense of it all. On that journey they were met by Jesus. We hope “Emmaus Road” can be a place where a diverse group of people, leaders and seekers can encourage and teach one another as we are learning to follow Jesus in our complex and changing context in the Bay Area, With EMMAUS ROAD we are not trying to corner the market on emergent cohorts, but simply want to offer one of many opportunities to connect. We encourage anyone who has the desire to start an Emergent Cohort of their own.

We will coordinate gatherings for dinner and discussion 6:30-9:30 PM. These evenings will begin with a pot luck dinner followed by discussions on several topics. If you would like attend and/or to facilitate a discussion, please contact us prior to the evening. (nate@reimagine.org)
