informational meeting follow-up Posted by 07.20.2009 7:21 pm

we had a great time last night at the informational meeting. we met several new people and there seemed to be a lot of growing interest and excitement with everybody. i think i’m most excited about the diversity of people and especially the significant number of people who are currently disinterested/disconnected from church and are now finding something in which they connect.

if you were there last night, you might remember me saying that i created a nice, pretty keynote presentation that went along with my shpill. you might also remember me saying that much to my chagrin, vino’s doesn’t have a connector for a computer… so, 15 minutes before my presentation, i had a very momentary freakout….but fortunately moved on pretty quickly. :)

so, i thought i would post my presentation here. you don’t get all the fancy transitions and the crazy bells and whistles, but you do get the cold hard facts. you can view the presentation here or you can download a pdf of the presentation by clicking here.

also, everyone in attendance got a little visual booklet that abstractly followed along with my presentation. to get the full impact, it’s best to have it in your hand and follow along, but if you want to subconsciously channel vino’s backroom and me talking, you can download the booklet by clicking here.

be looking out soon for an announcement about next month’s shindig!



questions for eikon? Posted by 03.17.2009 7:28 pm

questions for eikon

slowly but surely, i’ve been able to have more and more conversations with people about what we’re doing with eikon and at the same time, more and more people have begun showing interest (some even deciding to get onboard) and asking questions. at this point, the blog posts have been fairly broad and meant to disperse general information. there hasn’t been a tremendous amount of concrete information—which has been on purpose. at these very early phases, we’re much more concerned about sharing about our values and our goals as opposed to just dull facts about meeting places and other stuff.

but, we definitely know people want to know some of that information. so, i want to encourage everybody to let us know your questions. what do you want to know?? if you have questions, you can either post a comment or you can shoot me an email: eikon [at] beingryanbyrd [dot] com.

a friend of mine sent me a list of questions that might inspire you. he lives in a very rural and conservative setting and he decided to poke a little fun at the old school church culture that you may be aware of. maybe his list of questions will prompt your question-writing. :)

1. Will you have a steeple on this church?
2. Which version of the “New Hymns of Inspiration” will you use… vol. 11 or 12?
3. Will you have a Sunday School Hour and old fashioned Singins’ the first Sunday of every quarter?
4. What about the structure of pot luck dinners? Any insights?
5. Will you allow your deacons to drink and say a restricted list of cuss-type words?
6. Will this church be officially known as the First Eikon Holiness Saints of the Order of Luke Trinitarian Community Church?
7. Remember, if you aint got two candles a cross and a very huge bible in front of your pulpit or other sacred desk type aparatus, it aint church.
8. Will you be encouraging your faithful, tithing members to go door to door, annoying the entire community?
9. Will you allow any form of cheese in this said fellowship?

so, what are you questions? post a comment or shoot me an email!
