The Presbyterian Student Fellowship at MTSU is going to the DOOR ministry in Atlanta, GA for their spring break mission trip. They asked me to help this year and they invited any college student in our young adult community to come as well.

The total cost is $125 per student
A non-refundable deposit of $50 is due by Dec 8th.

Opportunities to serve in Atlanta may include interacting with homeless people at shelters and soup kitchens, making and delivering meals for homebound AIDS & cancer patients, working with folks with mental and physical disabilities, sorting food and clothes at distribution centers, visiting with senior citizens, hearing the stories of the civil rights movement, or just walking through neighborhoods and becoming acquainted with people & places.

Hope you will join us March 4-9.

The story of Christ’s birth is a story of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love.

So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a savior has somehow turned into a season of stress, traffic jams, and shopping lists.

And when it’s all over, many of us are left with presents to return, looming debt that will take months to pay off, and this empty feeling of missed purpose. Is this what we really want out of Christmas?

What if Christmas became a world-changing event again?

Welcome to Advent Conspiracy.

Fall to Grace: A revolution of God, grace, and society by Jay Bakker

“Drawing from his own unique experiences, Jay Bakker explores the radical, transformative, and inclusive nature at the heart of Jesus’ message: grace.”

The Orthodox Heretic: And other Impossible Tales by Peter Rollins

“The enclosed parables do not seek to change our minds but rather to change our hearts.”

Lamb: the Gospel according to Biff, Christ’s childhood pal by Christopher Moore

“A bold, hilarious, speculative novel fills in the lost years of Jesus life, told from the perspective of Biff, Christ’s childhood best buddy.”

Take This Bread: A Radical Conversion by Sara Miles

“The story of an unexpected and terribly inconvenient Christian conversion, told by a very unlikely convert, Take This Bread is not only a spiritual memoir but a call to action.”
