SALT Retreat

The SALT Retreat is a half-day event that will bring together the brightest and the best of local church leaders to share ideas, gain skills, be inspired, worship, and stay on the cutting edge of new media.  The retreat has been called “awe-inspiring,” “ground-breaking,” and “a sonic BOOM for churches thinking about new media!"

So, come one, come all - it all takes place on Wednesday, February 22nd, from 9-12:30pm, at Christian Theological Seminary, in Indianapolis, IN. 

 

If you’re a pastor, worship leader, seminarian, Sunday school teacher, or committed lay leader who aches to revitalize their congregation, grow their community, start small groups, and leverage some new forms of media, then you need to join us!

easter 1963

On Easter weekend, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. sat in a Birmingham jail and reflected in writing on the power of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection.  We think this short film, created by the folks over at Steelehouse Media Group, beautifully expresses the mystery and the power of the cross through the poetry of King’s own words.  

If your church is media saavy, you might wanna show it on Sunday!

Hello SALTy people,

We just wanted to extend our deepest thanks to everyone as the last few days of 2011 pass us by, falling like grains of sand in the hourglass my kids use every night to time their tooth brushing…

Looking back, it’s been an amazing year over here at SALT!  We’ve grown bigger (like Mary’s belly), we’ve let loose the good news of the gospel through music and film, and we’ve written many, many words full of God’s love, hope, peace, and justice for everyone.

Just so you know, we’ll be taking a little break from now until January 16th to spend time with our loved ones, recharger our batteries, and plan lots and lots and lots of amazing things for 2012.  

But, before we go, we want to leave you with this:

You are the SALT of the earth!  

You are the light of the world!

You are God’s masterpiece, a breathtaking work of divine art.

So:  go and be God’s raw and wild love in 2012, because the world needs you.

Thanks for being God’s SALT, the Earth’s SALT, this community’s SALT - and thanks for your ongoing love and support!  We couldn't do any of this without you...

Merry Christmas,

The SALT Team
