simply Christian

chris — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 01:32:18 +0000

To borrow N.T. Wright’s words, “Being a Christian in today’s world is, of course, anything but simple. But there is a time for trying to say, a simply as possible, what it’s all about.” In this series, it is our aim to do just that. Join us on Sundays — and plug into a short-term small group — to explore just what it means to be Christian.

Week 6

Fantasy Football

chris — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 17:54:26 +0000

Attention football geeks (as well as those who giggle every time they hear that “tight end” is a position in football) — the Branch is having a fantasy football league. It actually has little to do with the competition and more with relationship. The draft is happening Sunday, August 21st, immediately after worship. We’ll provide lunch, and participation in the league is free.

Space is limited: please e-mail Chris if you plan on joining us: chris@thebranchonline.org

Meal Night (8/13)

chris — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 17:39:37 +0000

This Friday meal night goes on the road: we’re headed to Jonny B’z.

This new hot dog restaurant is anything but ordinary (don’t think boiled dogs and stale buns).

And….if you’re not a hot dog lover, there are other options too (including vegetarian ones).

You can either….

Meet us at the restaurant (click here for map) at 6:30PM, OR…
Meet at the Branch at 5:50 — we’ll catch the 6:11 bus (the Branch will pay bus fare)

To help Jonny be ready for us, please let us know if you’re planning on coming: chris@thebranchonline.org
