Os Guinness Conference - March 2010

Os Guinness, author and social critic was hosted by Desert Palms Church at a conference entitled...

"Engaging Culture with Grace and Truth"

The conference was very well attended with many of his followers enjoying his views and passion to help make sense of life in our extaordinary modern world.

Os Guinness signing copies of his books.

Os sharing his passion to those "grappling with what it means to be human in this astonishing age - especially to those who are on the quest for meaning and to those who take their faith seriously".

Our book table was well attended and a wonderful selection of Os' books were available for purchase which he then signed.

Brenda Specht from East Valley Bible Church brought a wonderful selection of books from The Commons Bookstore at EVBC.

If you have not seen this great store you really should plan on doing so - and quite convenient if you live in the southeast valley.
(1820 W. Elliot Road, Gilbert - phone: 480-889-5385 - Hours 9-3, closed Friday and Saturdays.)

A big thank you goes out to all our great volunteers who helped make this event so successful.

Special thanks go to our WIC President, Julie Kaal, who went "above and beyond" to make all the smallest details fall into place so well. Thanks Julie!

WIC Card Workshop

Please come join us for our second card workshop of 2010 on September 22nd at 7PM! We will be creating a variety of cards to send to Operation Write Home, a non-profit group that sends blank homemade cards overseas to our troops to select and send to their loved ones. These soldiers select the card that fits the occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.), adds their personal greeting and this organization mails them out free of charge. The fact that these cards are all “made with love” adds that special element for the wonderful men and women serving our country! No creativity required, the workshop will offer simple instructions and a good night of fellowship as we create ~160 cards to send to this worthwhile cause. Come join us!
