DC Group Fellowship in 2009?

[Dr. Dionne S. Wood]

Grace and peace men and women of God.

I'd like to open a discussion to possibly plan a fellowship for the Spring of '09. I've gotten a couple of responses from some pastors, but I'd like to hear from the rest of the group. What do you think?

Let's hear your suggestions as it relates to:

DATE
LOCATION
THEME
SPEAKERS
and other things.

I am a new to the Washington, D.C. area and I would love to be part of such a group. I was invovled in a group like this in Ohio and I loved it. I learned so much plus it was great fellowship. My Pastor started this group some years ago and it is still flourishing. Elder Eric Darnell Jordan, Cathedral of Christ Baptist Church/Meridian Hills Baptist Church, [e-mail]

[REV. DR. EZEKIEL O. OGUNDIPE]

Greetings,
I am open and ready for the meeting God Willing.
Blessings!
Rev. Dr. Ezekiel

[Bishop M.J. Spires]

I would be interested in doing so as well. Look forward to the fellowship.

[APOSTLE DR. CYNTHIA GARNETT]

SHALOM GREETINGS DR. DIONNE!
THANK U FOR STARTING THIS GROUP. I LOOK FORWARD TO FELLOWSHPPING WITH FELLOW CLERGY OF BPN IN OUR REGION. I THINK APRIL IS A TIGHT MONTH THOUGH. MAY IN THE BEGINNING MIGHT BE BETTER.
YOU ALSO MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER GRP CONF. CALL FELLWSHPS AS WELL.
SHALOM BLESSNGS,
APOSTLE DR. GARNETT

[Apostle Marc Richardson]

Sounds good to me....
Try to shoot for some time in May if you can.....I guess location would depend on the size of the group.

[Bishop Charlton Smith]

Praise the Lord,
I would love to be part of this fellowship. Please keep me informed.

I think that is a great idea! The location depends on what type of event. Do you want to have Fellowship and a service? Do you want Workshops? Is there a Pastor that would like to hold it at their church. Do you want to have it quarterly and rotate locations?

[Dr. Dionne S. Wood]

Yes, Minister T... all of that! LOL

I would love this to be a "fellowship in motion", meaning that we gather together on a regular basis (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually) at each others churches. That's why I wanted to know who would be open to hosting these events.

Thank you to all of you who have expressed your interest. Now, let's make it happen.

Workshops, Services, Meet-n-Greets... all of these are viable options...

[Pastor James Coleman]

Look forward to working with you.

[Minister T]

The months of September or October, a three to five enening events. It would be great for Pastors that are part of the group, host an evening at their church.
