home sweet home: announcing our new meeting space
several days ago we made the exciting announcement that this coming sunday, february 14, we’ll be kicking off weekly gatherings. we’ll begin this new phase of our community with a series called confessional booth that will take a look at the guiding theologies of our church. think eikon meets postsecret. it should be a really great time to learn about this thing called eikon and connect with a new faith community.
as promised, we’ve got a few new details to share between now and then and this is the biggest. we’re incredibly excited to announce that after meeting in temporary spaces for the past several months, we have a new, (semi-)permanent home. since the inception of eikon in mid-2009, we’ve built a relationship with r street community church and have begun the process of finding ways to build partnerships with them in order to better connect with little rock. so, just as any other good friend does, r street is letting crash on their proverbial couch for a little while. :)
so, beginning this sunday, our new meeting space will be at r street community church’s building, located on the corner of r st. and university ave. in the midtown/heights area. it will be more than sufficient for our growing community and should be a great space until we transition into our own space in the late summer/early fall.
one of the things we’re particularly excited about with this new space is the fully functional children’s areas. whereas we’ve been limited with our childrens’ activities due to our previous meeting spaces, this new space will allow for us to begin to fully realize our commitment to families with children. so, if you have children, know that your child(ren) will have a space committed to them with competent and caring workers.
we’d love for you to partner with us in getting the word out and making this a big night. so, feel free to forward this blog post on to friends, twitter it, post it on facebook or—as crazy as this sounds—have an actual real life conversation with friends and coworkers. :)
see you on sunday, february 14 at 6 p.m. for confessional booth!
Where is it prefered that people park for the Eikon event? (it’s not evident from the site, or from the street level view on mapquest).
Also, where this event is announced on the main page, the text overruns it’s box (at least in Chrome) and the link, which is in white font, is invisible against the front page background.
I like that your new blog header has my initials in it: “C.B.” I know you did that just for me. :) See you Sunday!
There are several options for parking:
1. There is some parking along R Street near the side-entrance to the church.
2. Across R Street from the church is a gravel lot which will accomodate a few cars.
3. Just past the sanctuary, you can turn right into our parking lot. There are several spaces there behind the building.
4. If you continue to drive behind the building and turn right, we have another parking lot which runs along the side of the building (near our Common Hall).
5. On Sunday evenings, the shopping center across from the church (Mr. Wick’s, Wordsworth Books, Heights Toy Center) is closed, and parking is available there (as well as some overflow parking in the Hestands/Toggery parking lot).
