Outtakes are UP!

Hey Everyone,

Here you are in all your glory: http://tiltart.blogspot.com/2007/09/tilt-outtakes.html

Bulletin Board | Shower for Erin!

This Sunday afternoon from 2 - 4 pm at Spring Garden, there will be a shower in celebration of Erin and Colin's upcoming wedding. Any and all women are invited to attend. I am not fluent in the happenings of showers for women only, so I have no idea what you are supposed to wear, what to bring or how to act. Perhaps, like yourself?The VW is in honour of Erin's last name, just in case you were wondering. There was talk of a simultaneous men's only event during the afternoon, to which Gene would really like to be invited. Please post any further planning under the comments!

Also, see below for the small groups form link

Bulletin Board | Small Groups Starting!

As we have announced for a couple of weeks, we are joining in the whole Spring Garden community on a journey through Deuteronomy (and Acts too!), exploring what it means to be a community. This starts NEXT WEEK! It is our hope that everyone be in a small group, even if just for these next six weeks. If you aren't in a group, fill out this form (it's not linked because I can't get on the Spring Garden website right now, but check out springgardenchurch.ca and it should be there. It is now linked - here again), or email me at tilt.toronto@gmail.com.

TILT Teaching | Acts 7: A Reading

The teaching from tonight is posted on the TILT teaching blog here. It is, of course, the video made up of much of the TILT community! Check it out here. Well, I may as well put it right here too:

Bulletin Board | This Sunday

The Scripture reading/teaching/preaching/all-in-one for this week is coming together. Thank you everyone for sticking around afterwards to do some fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants filming.

Other than that, this Sunday should prove to be not unlike any other Sunday at TILT - always different!

What's Goin' On | September 18

Good morning, one and all!! This is your latest goin' on web-update post (in contrast to the newly formed 'bulletin post' for the latest happenings within the TILT and at the TILT worship gathering). Now that you are confused, here's the usual:

:. Gene's teaching on Acts 6:1-7 is up. Get the podcast if you dare.
:. Community Life & Prayer is posted - post your prayers here!
:. The Thomas Merton prayer from Sunday night.
:. And of course, weekly resources for meditation, prayer, praise and communing with God and one another.

Bulletin Board | This Sunday

Trying a new post here just to keep people in the loop about Sunday gathering happenings...This graphic will always be associated with it!

:. Please keep filling in the Toronto poster board prayer map! There should be a marker and pins by the map at all times. Simply pin-point a place where you are throughout the week, mark your name and how we can pray for you/that place/the people there.

:. Gene will be preaching on Acts 6:1-12:

1 But as the believers rapidly multiplied, there were rumblings of discontent. The Greek-speaking believers complained about the Hebrew-speaking believers, saying that their widows were being discriminated against in the daily distribution of food.

2 So the Twelve called a meeting of all the believers. They said, “We apostles should spend our time teaching the word of God, not running a food program. 3 And so, brothers, select seven men who are well respected and are full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will give them this responsibility. 4 Then we apostles can spend our time in prayer and teaching the word.”

5 Everyone liked this idea, and they chose the following: Stephen (a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit), Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas of Antioch (an earlier convert to the Jewish faith). 6 These seven were presented to the apostles, who prayed for them as they laid their hands on them.

7 So God’s message continued to spread. The number of believers greatly increased in Jerusalem, and many of the Jewish priests were converted, too.

Acts 7 | Video Scripture Reading

On Sunday, September 23 at TILT we’ll be covering Acts 7, which is when Stephen addresses the council. We thought it would be fun to do a collaborative scripture reading and hence this posting. Here’s the idea – to have as many people as possible reading various parts of the scripture and then cut it together into a video scripture reading. If you’ve ever seen the music video for Michael Jackson’s Black or White, you’ll sort of know what I’m talking about (near the end when all the different people are lip syncing and it just keeps cycling through people). Watch the video here. The part I'm talking about is in the last minute of the video.

I hope to be able to ‘film’ this on this Sunday night after TILT and would only need a few minutes of people’s time. It will just be a head and shoulders shot with you reading the Scripture that I tell you to read!

If you are interested and can let me know ahead of time, that would be great because I can then coordinate who will be reading what. So, please email me at scottgmoore@mac.com and let me know either way.

Thanks,
Scott M

Vocation | Starting Up Again

Check out the Vocation Blog for info on an upcoming meeting.

If you have no idea what Vocation is, perhaps this wordy sentence can help (or not?!):

Vocation is an authentic community (of those in post-secondary education and early careers) journeying together to solidify our primary calling to God and discover our secondary calling, the adventures God has in store for us, corporately and individually. Vocation's core values are community, authenticity, mobilization and creativity and we seek to live these out in everything we do.
