SHARING A GOOD MOMENT WITH BELLTOWN

March 9 was a good day for Belltown. Along with Elizabeth Campbell and David Anema from Emmaus Road, Pastor Eric Likkel joined a diverse gathering of neighbors to participate in a neighorhood-wide community development event. Likkel and Campbell were on the steering committee which secured a grant from the Department of Neighborhoods to help pay for the event, and Emmaus Road acted as the fiscal sponsor. Read a nice write-up about the day here.

GROUNDWORKS APRIL 28, 2013

After evaluating Emmaus Road's GROUNDWORKS SUNDAYS (for background, read more here), it seems we have settled on a few changes.

ROUTINE:

• 10:15AM arrive at New Horizons, enjoy coffee, food 
• 10:30AM  briefing; prayer
• 10:45AM fan out; get to work
• 12-1PM return to New Horizons for pizza
