Elders and pastors are invited to a meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 19, 2007, at First Christian Reformed Church in Byron Center, MI. We hope to continue the conversation about bringing God-centered, biblical renewal to the Christian Reformed Church. There will be discussion of position papers, the “Year of Faith Formation” and also where we go from here. We need your help to broaden the conversation so please prayerfully consider attending. Please R.S.V.P. to returningchurch@yahoo.com or call 616-396-6230.
This meeting is being held just prior to the Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology (PCRT) to be held at First Byron from April 20-22 (see next posting on this blog). We strongly encourage you to take in the conference as well.
Further, you would help us greatly by publicizing the event with those you know who might be interested in such a meeting.

Are the position papers and "Year of Faith Formation" available for other folks who are unable to attend the meetings to read?
Dave Watson, Kent, WA
Dave - thanks for the inquiry. For the meeting, various churches are coming with position papers they have discussed as councils and congregations. The Returning Church is not an organization, per se, and is certainly not a church so it really has no authority to draft any thing. The churches are just going to share what they've been working on.
In regards to the "Year of Faith Formation" - this is just a springboard off of the CRC's program in connection with the 150th Anniversary celebration. We are hoping churches will come with ideas of how they engage in "faith formation" and discuss whether there are resources we can share with one another.
With that said, we hope to post some of the thoughts that come to this meeting and also come out of it. Stay posted!
