As we prepare to say goodbye to 2019 and greet 2020, I want to take a moment to thank all of you who have been part of the New Wineskins community…not just this year, but since our humble beginnings in May 2014.

Whether you have attended our gatherings regularly, occasionally, or just once, if you’ve been one of our guest speakers, or if you follow us from a distance through our website or Facebook page, I offer my deepest and most heartfelt gratitude for your participation. You are all part of the New Wineskins family!

There are some big things in store for 2020 and I can’t wait to let you in on some of the ideas that are in the works…but not quite yet!

In order to take a bit of a rest, step back for some perspective, and do a little planning and scheming, we’re going to take a few weeks off from our regular gathering schedule. Look for an announcement about our re-start sometime in mid-January.

In the meantime, I invite you to connect with the resources available through our affiliation with the new Accidental Tomatoes network where we’re part of a growing online community of people seeking ways to grow faith outside the fences of the traditional church setting. You can check out my weekly blog (also available at joewebbwrites.com) and listen to the Accidental Tomatoes Podcast with new episodes every other Friday on iTunes, GooglePlay, PodBean and SoundCloud.

Once again, thank you for being part of this journey and our community. I wish the deepest joy of the holiday season to you all, and I’m excited to take our next steps forward together in 2020!

Shalom!
Joe Webb
New Wineskins founder/facilitator
