Sojourn Arts Gathering
When: 5:30pm
Where: Leather Works Minnesota - 736 Oakdale Ave, St Paul, MN 55107
Join us for another Sojourn Arts Gathering to prepare for the Bordertown Open Mic. We will prepare by discussing Philips' recent lecture "How to be bold with the Gospel, and not get canceled." We ran out of time at the last meeting, focusing more on prayer, and were unable to digest it. It raises up some methodology on relevance, communication, and courage pertinent to using your art outside the church to reach the lost. Your homework is to watch this lecture and bring your thoughts and questions. Snacks, coffee, and soup will be provided.
