GOD is not a white man

for those of you who don't know immersn has its own movie house.

well, technically we don't have it as much as one of our members runs a theater and we like to go there and watch movies...a lot!

so, that member (his name is jason) sent this video clip which will most likely make its immersn debut at the very first service this year (sept 16) because it ties in beautifully with our opening series 'who are you?' which asks the question and then seeks to answer it by showing us that who we are is directly dependent on who GOD thinks we are...we just tend to forget that.

so, many thanks to jason for this amazing clip and jason's theater (check it out here) for all the amazing indie films and films with a conscience that they choose to show (sometimes to their own financial detriment) you are both super-cool!

anyhoo, here is the immersn e-debut of 'white man' by the michael gungor band

the age of stupid

we want to thank paul (paul@immersn.com) for many cool things he has brought to immersn.
1) melissa (she is the coolest)
2) tech savvy
3) love of beer & chats
4) cannibal the musical
5) creativity coupled with the ability to make such creative things happen
6) this movie...

edenism is such a major part of our little community and our desire to love the planet that god has given to us drives us to use less energy, walk/ride/carpool more, live more responsibly but the fact of the matter is that we are living in dangerous times.

we encourage you to check out this movie...it looks fascinating and while we are sure it will join the pantheon of immersn films that we have called films that matter to be seen some time over the next year we invite you to check out the site (found here) and see if there isn't some way you could host a viewing in your home/church/bus stop...wherever.

we have lots of choices but only one planet.

hallelujah and forgive us LORD.

immersn during the summer

well...we have officially down-shifted for the summer months.

'so, what does immersn in the summer look like?' you might ask.

well, there are still times to gather as a community...they are just not at our usual spot or at our usual times.

we still gather to talk about life, faith, GOD, and stuff but in the summer it is even more casual than during the rest of the year.

so, keep an eye on the calendar for upcoming community nights and events and keep firing off suggestions for services in the fall.

so far the 2009-2010 agenda includes:

• lectures on the dead sea scrolls followed by a roadtrip to the ROM to see them live
• welcoming back two of our global missionaries and hearing about their experiences in africa
• some guest speakers talking about supporting burgeoning entrepeneurs in developing nations
• more guest speakers from the national post talking about religion, politics, faith..etc.
• even more guest speakers from various faith groups who will be sharing their worldviews and thoughts on GOD
• and, of course, plenty of topics [all chosen by the community] to discuss, deepen and enrich our faith-lives.

remember GOD is with us and calling to us to become immersed in a life devoted to Him...even in the summer!

1 Timothy 1:14 The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

blessings on you...stay in touch.
