July Gathering

Our July Gathering will take place on Wednesday July 27th at 7pm at Bare Bones Grill in Ellicott City. The group who was present last month enjoyed the conversations in a private room so chose to return to the same location. There is one small catch: though there is no charge to use the room, we must leave at least a $45 gratuity. So PLEASE use the comments section of the blog to indicate if you are going to be able to join us or not. We know this is cumbersome, but that way 2 or 3 people are not splitting the $45. So far we have had 10-15 people each time so it should not be a problem. Obviously, you can always come even if you did not say so first. [Some of you may have heard that we were going to meet on the 20th--well the room was booked on the 20th, but not on the 27th.] Dylan will be facilitating the discussion as I (Tim) will be at home with my wife and our soon-to-be-arriving baby.

For those of us who missed last month, what is the discussion going to be about this month?

Hi folks,

You don't know me yet, but I've corresponded with Tim. I plan to attend on the 27th. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Peace,
Mike

I'll be there will bells on!

Last month, the discussion was on the "Emergent rule" as a way to approach the question, "What is Emergent?"

I haven't quite decided on the question(s) for this time, but I'm open to suggestions -- especially questions that elicit the stories behind our ideas and passions.

Looking forward to seeing y'all!

By the way, Daniel, are you RSVP'ing yes?

I was planning on coming, but it turns out I'm gonna be in Richmond for work during the day. If I'm back in time and not completely exhausted I'll try to be there, but I can't make any promises.

Things change. Sorry that I'll miss the gathering in July. Hope to see you in August.

Hye, all...

I'm sorry, but Paige and I aren't going to be able to make it. I was hoping I'd be able to, but no luck. I'll look forward to hearing what happened, though!

In Christ,
Eric

Dear All,

Since only two people (Mike and I) have RSVP'd to say we're coming, I'm cancelling the room reservation at the Bare Bones. We could still meet just in the bar (i.e., not in a private room). Mike, would you prefer to meet, or just wait for the August gathering?

And if anyone else is planning to come, please leave a comment here ASAP to that effect!

Blessings,

Dylan

OK, I've now heard from Mike, and this isn't the greatest time for him either, which would leave me as the only person coming to the gathering. Let's consider the July gathering cancelled, and we'll get together in August as scheduled. If you've got any questions or want to get in touch with me, pop by my website and email me (there's a link to do that in the left-hand sidebar).

Thanks, and I'll look forward to seeing y'all in August!

Blessings,

Dylan

I was planning on coming, but hadn't gotten around to responding. I look forward to meeting you all in August.

Heya, all. I'm posting a comment here because I'm not sure how else to get a message through to folks who can post.

Whassup with August? Let's get things firmed up -- and let's all RSVP this time. I'd hate for the gathering to be cancelled again unless it's really true that only a couple of people are planning to come.

Blessings,

Dylan

Yeah, what she said! It would just about break my heart if this thing stopped happening just as I'd found you all, but before I'd had the chance to meet any of you.
