Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ" (1 John 1:3,
NIV).
FELLOWSHIP OF THE VALLEY
UPDATE
I JUNE 4 2008
Dear Church,
It is good to belong to a
church where people are
actually growing in their
understanding of God in
Christ and changing their
attitudes and actions to be
in line with God’s will.
These are exciting times at
the Fellowship, and I hope
you will join in where you
can. Here is some news from
our community.

THE CHURCH BASEMENT ROADSHOW
| SATURDAY, JULY 26
Three authors/friends/public
speakers hit the road for a
summer, barnstorming
churches around the country
in a cross between an old
time tent revival and the
Blue Collar Comedy Tour.
Speaking at churches large
and small, Tony Jones, Doug
Pagitt, and Mark Scandrette
will present a 90-minute
show (including a 20-minute
intermission) that will
combine humor and passion,
speaking and video,
preaching and dialogue.
Audiences will be
entertained, to be sure,
but, more importantly, they
will be given a vision of an
alternative Christianity,
one that it woefully lacking
in today’s world—this
alternative is a
Christianity of adventurous
theology, passionate
faithfulness, postmodern
wit, and unrelenting concern
for the justice and peace
that God offers.
