While Kris and I were in Italy, Alise Barrymore, the former campus minister at North Park and who is starting up a new community church with James King, wrote and asked us to come down to speak about The DaVinci Code. So, we are really excited about joining The Emmaus Community next Sunday. It’s at 925 McArthur Drive in Chicago Heights, what we up here call the South Side of Chicago. Here’s a bit from their website:
