announcing EIKON | WHO: venue change Posted by Ryan Byrd 09.21.2009 5:37 pm

EIKON | WHO

several days ago, we announced our upcoming gathering, EIKON | WHO, which will be this coming sunday (the 27th).

in said post, we mentioned we were waiting to hear back from the meeting place to confirm which time slot would be available. well…we heard back from the venue…and we received not-so-happy news… to make a long story short, we found out they double-booked us and we were the low man on the totem pole. :(

so, the search began for a new meeting place and we’re glad to say that gusano’s is that new meeting place. gusano’s is a great restaurant and bar, so we think it will be an equally good place to hang out and engage in a great conversation.

they have a tucked-away little room downstairs that should provide for a relaxed environment. they’ll provide some wait staff and eating and drinking is highly encouraged so that we can help to support a river market area business. to access the downstairs, you’ll need to go to the far back left corner of the building and enter a short hallway/walkway. (it will look like you’re going somewhere you shouldn’t…so don’t be freaked out…) :) take a left and the stairs will lead you down to the room.

here’s the details:

where: gusano’s
when: 6 – 8 p.m.
what: EIKON | WHO, discussing the “who?” of eikon church. more details here.
who: everyone’s invited, so come out and bring some friends. the conversation will only be better with more people.

we’ve set up a facebook event, so check that out for a few more details and let us know if you’re coming out.

see you sunday!

eikon informational meeting! Posted by Ryan Byrd 07.04.2009 3:40 pm

i’m very excited to (finally) be able to tell you guys about our next eikon shindig. after the success of last month’s cookout, on sunday, july 19 at 6:00 p.m., we’ll be having an informational meeting at vino’s.

there’s two reasons you might want to come to this meeting:

1. if you’ve ever wanted to know anything about this whole eikon thing, you don’t want to miss this meeting. during our time together, we’ll talk about the who, what, where, when, why & how of eikon. whereas it’s difficult to distill the totality of information into an hour or so, we really think this meeting should give a very clear picture of what we’re trying to do with this new faith community.

OR…

2. if you really love calzones, pizza and pale ale from vino’s, this meeting’s for you. :) even if you couldn’t care less about this church thing, you can certainly just come hang out with us, grab some pizza & a beer and meet a few new people. and who knows, maybe while you’re there you’ll hear something that resonates with you.

either way, it’s a great time to come hang out with us. if there was ever a time to jump in on this eikon thing, this meeting would be it. whereas the cookout was very laid back and cookout-ish (you like that?… cookoutish…), this meeting will be very much information-driven (although we’ll definitely take a good 45 minutes or so of just hanging out and eating dinner together).

we’d love for you to help us spread the word. there’s several things you can do:

  1. 1. tell your friends about it.
  2. 2. email a link to this blog post.
  3. 3. direct them to our facebook page and/or the facebook event page.
  4. 4. tell them about our twitter, where there will be updated information.
  5. 5. tell them to call or email ryan to hear some more about what’s going on.
  6. 6. send them to our website. while it’s not much right now, it will give them a launching point to other relevant information.

we hope to see you there and hope to meet quite a few new people. see you in a couple weeks!

eikon cookout: the day after Posted by Ryan Byrd 06.08.2009 7:37 pm

as most of you know who have been keeping up with the blog (or twitter or facebook or have talked to me…) or for those who actually know how to scroll down the page and have read the previous post, we had our first ever gathering for eikon. in this case, it was a cookout at our (ryan & christen’s) house last night (sunday, june 7).

i’m excited to say that it was a big success. while we had a good-sized crowd, i’m not really big on judging things based on how many showed up. rather, i was really excited about the great interactions and the relationships that began. of course, i had a good idea of who all would show up, but it was even great for me to meet quite a few people for the first time. it was cool to see everyone really making connections with other people and sharing a little about where they’re at in regards to their faith journey and levels of interest in finding a place to connect and worship.

so, if you thought about coming but couldn’t make it out for whatever reason, while we certainly missed you last night, there are definitely upcoming opportunities to come hang out and get to know a little about this thing called eikon.

we don’t have a definitive date set, but some time in mid/late july, we’ll have our next gathering. much like the cookout, it will be very casual and a great entry point, but we’ll also—in contrast to the cookout—have a bit more of an informational time. we’ll share a little about why we’re starting a church, how we’re going about it and some of the things that are guiding values and theologies. it should be a really great time to come for the first time, or, of course, come back if you attended the cookout.

so, be looking out for that. as soon as we get a definite date locked down, we’ll get the word out in various forums (website, facebook, twitter, smoke signals, sky writers…).

speaking of various forums, we’re very excited to be a matter of days away from the official launch of the eikon website. naturally, as soon as that launches, we’ll get the word out and this temp site will be permanently redirected to that site. the website will be a great place to get a lot more information and a great resource to pass along to friends who might want to know more.

finally, if you want to see a handful of pictures from last night’s cookout, you can see some on our fledgling flickr page. we didn’t get a shot of everybody or everything, but you can get a little glimpse of what went down. in you’re just too lazy or apathetic to click the above link, here’s a couple from last night. :) (by the way, a huge thanks to cara beth buie for shooting the event last night. cara beth’s a great photographer who’s just starting out and a friend of eikon. you’ll see much more of her in the future at eikon and you can find a little more about her and her husband, brent, at their blog.)
