Aslan is on the move! Winter is turning to Spring. The Kingdom of God is being re-imagined and encountered in our daily lives. And, sightings of the King are being reported from every corner of the globe.
At Lamppost Farm, ministry happens at the junction of hunger and hope; the intersection of knowing and loving; and the crossroads of heads, hearts, and hands. We, along with other ministries in our area, would like to Explore, Discover, and Understand with you how God is revealing himself in our midst.
Ragan Sutterfield, author of Cultivating Reality and Farming as a Spiritual Discipline will be our keynote speaker. Hands-on workshops and break-out sessions led by other guest speakers serve in the formation of a meal and conversation for all to share throughout the evening and into the next morning.
