We interrupt our regularly scheduled commentary to bring you a couple of event announcements…

If you are in the Twin Cities area this weekend, I hope you will join me for one or the other of two events:

Care of Creation 5th Anniversary Celebration:  It was in April 2005 that Care of Creation Inc. was founded as the first evangelical environmental missions organization.  Five years later we’re still here!  And according to one friend who moves international mission circles a lot, “Everywhere I go, people have heard of Care of Creation.”   Join us tomorrow: Friday, March 19, 7 pm at Bethlehem Baptist Church’s North Campus building (5151 Program Ave, Mounds View, MN 55112) for a dessert reception and to rejoice with us as we review the last five years and look forward to the next five and fifty!  We will also be blessing Craig and Tracy Sorley and their children as they prepare to return to Kenya in the next couple of weeks.   No RSVP necessary – just come and bring your friends!  But if you are a blog-reader or FB or Twitter friend be sure and introduce yourself – and if you can’t be with us for geographical reasons, maybe you can pray with us for a short time during that time slot – and if you do, use the comments to let us know.

“Why the Environment is Important to Christians”: I will be giving the message at The Gathering, an alternative worship experience at Wooddale Church this Sunday at 6 pm in the Great Room.  Would love to have you join me – and again, if you find your way there because of this post, please let me know!

And coming soon…
