Many of our members are in discipleship training as well as in physical training this summer!  There are a handful of us that are training to do the triathalon and marathon this summer and in the next handful of months.  Will keep you posted!

Gracepoint Forum: My good friend, Daniel K, has set up an arena where anyone can ask questions about the Christian faith. His SET (summer evangelistic training) notes and additional points (from Tim Keller’s: Reasons for God) are also there so check it out!

Someone asked me for directions to Gracepoint Fellowship Berkeley, so I’ll just post it here:

If you’re looking for a church in Berkeley, you should definitely try out Gracepoint Fellowship Church in Berkeley! Many of us at Koinonia Fellowship attend Gracepoint Berkeley – and we love it! The messages are thought-provoking and Christ-centered, people are authentic, the church is active, and the fellowship is awesome. This is a place where many of us (including myself) have experienced God’s grace. Check it out!

Did you know that EACH DAY, over 29,000 children die from PREVENTABLE diseases such as malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea, etc.? Malnutrition is associated with over half of those deaths. [stats by worldvision.org]

This is sobering information… I am so proud of my friends here at Koinonia Berkeley and at Gracepoint Fellowship Church for participating full force to raise funds to feed, support, and care for hungry children around the world through the World Vision program. Just Koinonia 2 itself, raised over $16,200 with the help of over 330 sponsors! And Gracepoint Fellowship Church as a whole (425 participants) raised $105,175 – amazing! This means we raised enough to feed dozens of children for a year. I’m excited to see how God will continue to use us as a church for His wonderful life-giving work.

Does anyone know how I can customize the Flickr Photo Gallery on the right to point to our photo Gallery for Koinonia Berkeley or Gracepoint Berkeley? I know where to go to put in the Flickr RSS URL, but just need to know what to type in the field. Thanks, just comment.
