What's Goin' On | February 26

Thanks to everyone for such a wonderful TILT Communion Potluck and baby dedications on Sunday night. What an amazing way to worship God together. I will post pictures as soon as possible.

Hopefully you have been checking out the TILT community boards. There are all sorts of things you can do there. To see the latest posts in all of the forums, simply click on the image under "Recent Forum Posts" on the right sidebar. For a tutorial on the forums, check out the proboards website here.

Bulleting Board | SUPER Sunday!

For our gathering on Sunday, we're having our approximately bi-monthly communion potluck where we receive and celebrate communion together over a meal. So, we'll be downstairs in the Multi-Purpose Room instead of up in the sanctuary. 6:30 pm per usual!

We don't assign food by name or anything like that, so if you are able to bring anything, please do. However, if you don't have time/money/whatever to prepare anything, don't worry about it! We always make extra and often those who need to take food home, we send some with them!!

If you haven't been at a communion potluck before, a little background...the early Christian church celebrated communion over an entire meal, rather than just as part of a worship gathering. So, that is what we are doing at TILT - framing a meal together through the celebration of communion, so that the entire meal is communion.

While we are eating, we will be dedicating our three "e" TILT children!! Bill and Shelby will be dedicating GraciE, Mon and Greg ChloE, and Jay and Michelle RyliE. This is an important part of being a community as we all commit to supporting these families in raising their children in the love and grace of God and His Body.

Mission Expo '08

This weekend, from February 22-24, there is a major mission event happening at Yorkminster Baptist Church. There is a speaker from Argentina, workshops, exhibits, tours, etc. all for $35 or less depending on what you register for. Click on the image to see more!

The Season of Lent

The season of lent is upon us! We've created a forum where we can share our journeys to the cross - talking about what we have given up, perhaps why, what that is breaking us free from and how we are drawing closer to God through it.
Check out the forum here.

Typically, the Sabbath day is a day 'off' from whatever you are fasting from throughout Lent. If you consider Sunday your Sabbath, we would love to provide whatever you are fasting from! For example, if you are fasting from chocolate for Lent, it would be great to have chocolate for snacks at TILT for your Sabbath enjoyment! So, add a thread on the forum or let us know at TILT!

Gene's teaching

Sorry for the tardinesss! Listen to Gene's teaching here.

And don't forget the new way to pray!

Meeting Tonight!

Despite the weather, the meeting tonight will go on...just a reminder...6:45 prayer and 7:30 meeting about the revised budget. Hopefully some of you can make it, although understandable if not.

Our Stories

We try as much as possible to include stories from people within TILT about what is happening in their lives - you can find them on the Urban Monks blog tagged as "story". Read Jan D'Angelo's latest update about her adventures with LAUNCH.

It would be awesome to hear from everyone about the stories of their lives - from amazing stories like Becki's on Sunday night, to an interesting conversation at work, to a thought-provoking reading of Scripture, to a great windsurf (that's for you Nick!) - whatever it is! Share in one another's journeys...

A new way to pray!! (Online at least)

Introducing the official launch of the TILT boards! I will post a full teaching explanation later day, but for now, please use the TILT community boards!!

You will see on the drop-down menu the addition of "community boards" at the top right. Click on that and it will take you to the general forum (with all of them listed). Prayer is the forum through which we can pray for one another, our city and our world. Practical helps is a way for us to build an inventory of what we as a community have to 'offer' - what skills do you have ? can you build a house? a website? paint? Put it up! Practical needs is where you can post anything you need help with! (See this one - nanny needed!). General is where you can talk about anything. Others will soon be added.

You can reply to an existing thread (such as this one on praying for Kenya), or start your own!!
Note: we considered making the prayer forum password protected or members only due to the concern of privacy that was raised in the TILT town hall meeting. However, we've decided to leave it open - we feel that the board is separate from the site and less public that previously posting on the blog. We also value the ability for ANYone to post on this, even if they are outside of TILT - this has happened a couple of times. I will moderate everything still, of course. As well, you can adjust the content of your prayer request to make it suitable for this kind of forum, so that you are comfortable with what you post. Hope that makes sense!

It's been a while...

Sorry for the long lack of updates! Here is the latest:
:. Scott's teaching from Sunday night from Acts 17:33-46 (it includes the video as well).
:. This month's resources (sorry for the tardiness).
