HeartEdge Mailer | January 2018

Our passion is growing Kingdom communities via four C’s - congregations, culture, commercial activity and compassion.

Welcome to our January de-tox Mailer. This month:

• Culture: Churches as space for art and... comedy clubs
• Commerce: Macaroons and cakes as social enterprise - and 'start up' hints and tips
• Congregation: Looking Up with Annie Lamont, Harry and Chris on the Apocalypse, Maggie Dawn on submerging church and Barbara Glasson on diversity
• Community: Craftivist and introvert activism with Sarah Corbett - and Naomi Thompson on lessons from the Sunday school movement

Plus - Lucy Winkett on rare sympathy and holding fast in turbulent times

HeartEdge is making spaces where members give from their experience and take from others – an exchange that’s inspiring and mutually useful for all. HeartEdge works with members to find solutions, share resources and connect with others developing their church and community. If you have ideas or requests for topics on which you would like to share ideas and experiences with other churches, please call 020 7766 1127 or email Jonathan.

"Welcome to the HeartEdge Mailer...

Our passion is growing Kingdom communities - via four C’s - congregations, culture, commercial activity and acts of compassion.

This month - Methodist minister Barbara Glasson on resilience, Rowan Williams on prayer, Al Barrett on after Grenfell, Tracy Ullman on gentrification.

Plus - how to better connect with your community, how to organise an event, and social enterprise beyond the cafe - examples from ‘Clean for Good’ and new HeartEdge members.

Find HeartEdge at Greenbelt! And HeartEdge dates this autumn. And Sam Wells on seventy-five years after Beveridge.

Enjoy? Tell your friends and like us on Facebook!"
