Hey everyone. I thought I would give you all some advance notice for an event that will be held at Peachtree Baptist on Monday, August 6. Gerald Iversen who is the National Coordinator of Alternatives for Simple Living will be speaking.
Alternatives is a non-profit organization that equips people of faith to challenge consumerism, live justly, and celebrate responsibly. Started in 1973 as a protest against the commercialization of Christmas, it encourages celebrations year-round that reflect conscientious ways of living. Throughout its 30-plus years, Alternatives has helped lead the movement to live more simply and faithfully. The many staff members and volunteers of Alternatives have developed a wide variety of resources, organized an annual Christmas Campaign, led numerous workshops, and reached countless people with the message of simple, responsible living.
The event at Peachtree will be a covered dish. Here are the details:
Mon., Aug. 6, 6 p.m. - Potluck Supper and conversation, Peachtree Baptist Church, 2108 Briarcliff Rd NE, ATLANTA, GA. Contact Steve Vellines at steve.vellines@ricoh-usa.com or (678) 481-6645 (cell) or (770) 723-4249, or Leann Gunter at Leann@PeachtreeBaptist.net or (404) 634-2463. – CONFIRMED
Everyone is encouraged to bring a dish and enjoy fellowship around the tables and then hear Gerald speak. My understanding is that it will be more of a dialogue and I think he would be very interested in the Around the Bend group and may have some helpful tips on some of the topics that we are interested in. I hope you all can come and also please spread the word to anyone who may be interested.
