September 2006 Dear friends,
Greetings
from...wait -- what state am I in again? Oh, yeah: we're back in Durham,
NC. We had a wonderful summer
in Richmond, VA, where my husband had an internship at a local church as
part of his graduate studies at Duke University Divinity School. He starts
classes again today, and I've got my nose to the grindstone (read: laptop)
in order to hit a major deadline this month. Are we geeks, or
what?
Anyway, we won't stay still for long: we're
moving AGAIN in October to join some friends in a Christian community
called Isaiah House in east Durham, which houses both long-term ministry
partners (like us) and short-term guests who are temporarily homeless. The
neighborhood itself is in need of some hope, and together with our local
church (which is just a few blocks away), we envision the area becoming an
epicenter for revitalization in east Durham. Will you pray for us? This is
a huge transition and an even huger ministry opportunity. If any of you
are curious to know more, feel free to email me: sa...@saraharthur.com.
Meanwhile, I'm STILL
plugging away at two major writing projects: one is a resource for youth pastors entitled The
God-Hungry Imagination: The Art of Storytelling for Postmodern Youth
Ministry (Upper Room Books, 2007); and the other is a OneYear
devotional for Tyndale's youth line (thirsty? 2007). I'm also
looking forward to the fourth annual C. S. Lewis Festival in Petoskey, MI,
which kicks off in late October: www.cslewisfestival.org. Narnia
fans don't want to miss out! Check the above link for all the awesome
details.
And finally,
there's still time to order small
group resources for fall classes & youth groups through www.saraharthur.com. I have the
best group discount on the web for orders of 10 or more; plus, you can
mix-and-match the titles in any combination you wish. I'm happy to
personalize the books for the students in your group, too.
Fun!
Blessings to you all this school
year,

world is but a story, it were well for thee to buy the more enduring
story, rather than the story that is less enduring.
