House Church Talk - Re: House Church Talk Digest, Vol 3, Issue 99

[Claire Bennett]

I have been trying to send messages and have had them bounce.  So I am
replying to see if this will work.  I know that this makes for a long post
because it includes the whole digest.

Gal 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us
free, and do not again be held with the yoke of bondage.

Gal 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.

> May 21-23, 2004 Southern Wesleyan University, Central, SC
>
> Steve Atkerson, Les Buford, Dan Trotter, the New Testament Restoration

> We hope that many will be encouraged, instructed, inspired, and edified
> this year as well.
>
> We will have six plenary speakers: Steve Atkerson , Dan Hubbel, Beresford
> Job, Jonathan Lindvall, Dan Trotter and Jon Zens. The plenary sessions
> will be focused on a theme this year, "Itinerant Church Ministries" or as
> Watchman Nee might have said, "The Church & The Work". Our aim with this
> conference is to examine the NT pattern for extra- local ministries such

> Financing the Work, etc. We will still have break out workshops during
> which speakers will present fundamental topics on the biblical home
> church (Interactive Meetings, Consensus Governing, Full Meal Lord's
> Suppers, Apostolic Tradition, Home Based & Living Room Sized Churches).
>
> All of our session presenters are experienced teachers and speakers, and
> have been chosen by the conference organizers to address a pre- selected
> topic based on the interests and expertise of the speaker. We have
> observed in them, either in person or via tape, newsletter, website, or
> book, the following attributes: a Scriptural belief that the biblical
> house church is the revealed will of God, a personal dedication to the
> expansion of biblical house churches, an ability to teach and speak, an
> ability to handle with grace and humor Christians from all parts of the
> world with all sorts of theological backgrounds and all sorts of
> temperaments. We also require that our speakers are actually practicing
> house church. Our speakers are people from many different walks of life
> with a common vision of Jesus Christ and Jesus' church. They're doing it,
> not just talking about it.
>
> So, it would be great to see you at Southern Wesleyan University in
> Central, SC, starting Friday night, May 21, 2004. See the details at the

>      WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
>
> Cost: The conference itself is free! Lodging and meals cost $100 per
> person (cheap). This includes lodging Friday and Saturday night, plus
> three meals Saturday, and two meals Sunday. Housing is dormitory-style.
> Linens are provided. Husbands and wives may share rooms, but there are no
> double beds. Bathrooms are on different hallways segregated by sex.
> Limited married student apartments are available to married couples on a
> first-come, first-served basis. The accommodations are typical college
> dormitories. However, if you prefer you may choose to stay in a motel.
> Unfortunately, if you choose this option you will pay more and have less
> fellowship. The $100 is all you will have to pay, unless you would like
> to buy books from the conference book tables. See below about special
> rates for children.
>
> Mail your check to Les Buford: WE NEED YOU TO SEND IN YOUR REGISTRATION
> AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Southern Wesleyan University requires a firm count
> within two weeks of the conference. SO WE NEED YOUR REGISTRATION EARLY.
> YOU CAN REGISTER AFTER MAY 16, BUT THE COST AFTER FRIDAY, MAY 16 IS $110.
> TO RESERVE YOUR ROOM, PLEASE SEND YOUR $100, WITH NAMES & ADDRESSES &
> E-MAILS OF OTHERS YOU ARE PAYING FOR, TO OUR CONFERENCE MAESTRO:

>
> Options: (1) Pay 100 for room and food (the conference sessions are
> free). (2) Just show up for the conference sessions (parking will be

> are free. You can get lodging elsewhere, and food elsewhere. (3) You may,
> if you choose, purchase a meals-only plan with Southern Wesleyan

> Buford, so Southern Wesleyan can plan. In other words, the Southern
> Wesleyan meals-only plan will not be available unless you prepay. Of
> course, with option three, you must find your own lodging.)

> What to Bring: Just yourself and your Bible. All else (sheets,
> pillowcases, pillows, towels, washcloths, but not soap) will be provided
