We'll go "Dutch" for lunch afterwards, if you'd like to go with us.

When we meet on Feb. 7, we'll talk about some ideas from the book, Building a Healthy Multi-Ethnic Church by Mark Deymaz.
As I've been reading this book, I've been reminded that the "mystery of the Gospel" that Paul describes in Ephesians 3:6 is that both the Gentiles and Jews are joint-heirs to the Kingdom. Deymaz says the church at Antioch was the first local church body that modeled this mystery of the Gospel, and that churches today can proclaim this "mystery" by being multicultural.
