Last week The Zoe Group held its annual leadership and worship conference right here in Nashville, at my own church, and I missed it! Caught up in the chaos otherwise known as my recent existence, I didn't get to attend any of the sessions, and now I'm kicking myself.

The Zoe Group is a Restoration Movement-affiliated "nonprofit ministry of Christian Renewal." They publish Wineskins magazine, an online journal which explores issues of contemporary culture and faith, and also develop video projects and other resources. 

This year's "Look to the Hills" Conference, with the theme "Overflow," marked Zoe's tenth anniversary.  In addition to the pre-conference designed to "take the discussion to a deeper level"  with professional and lay leaders, the general conference "attempts to illustrate, educate and provide experiences to our attendees which will empower their personal and congregational life of worship."

Oh, enough with the quoting from their website. Check it out yourself here, as well as the wonderful conference schedule which included several sessions with Brian McLaren and Lynn Anderson. I'm going next year.
