Special Message from Phil Ogilvie

If you were able to make it out to our last Awakening gathering before summer two things happened, you experienced a pretty stellar tornado/hail and light show, and you also got to hear a quick vision for what this summer is going to look like.  Now I want to share a few more details real quick.

LeverageU @ Epiphany
The Awakening is producing an event tomorrow night, that is Saturday the 11th that is hosted by Epiphany DanceArts and benefits Traffick911.  Use the promo Code "Awakening" to get $10 off your ticket price.  I hope many of you join us as we are blessed by our very own Melissa Nagel who is the leader of this company.  Half of the proceeds go to Traffick911 who seeks to eliminate sex trafficking among children.  For more information and to buy tickets go to the LeverageU website.

The Awakening
The Awakening will continue to meet over the summer by gathering on Sunday's for lunch at Gordon Biersch in the Park Lane shopping center across the street.  Many of you know where it is because we've been there every Tuesday night after the awakening.  IMPORTANT: Come by the Awakening Table on the second floor concourse anytime Sunday morning to get your Coupon for happy hour lunch specials and 10% off the rest of the menu.  This coupon will also include "The Sunday Question" which will provide a starter question so that we can talk about Gary's message.  We will begin gathering at Gordon Biersch at 12:30.

Awakening @ The Park
During the Month of June, The Awakening will be gathering at the Park in the Village Apartments on Tuesday Nights until July 5th to play Volleyball, Hang out, play music and have other great yard games.  This is a great place to meet others and get connected.  After July 5th we will move to Monday nights so that we can start the next initiative.

The Gathering @ Uptown
The Gathering @ Uptown is an opportunity for young adults to gather in a fun, safe, and comfortable environment.  We will be gathering on Tuesday nights at St. John's Wood in uptown. (It's right across the street from Starbucks, next to Rockin' Taco.)  This begins on July 12 with Live bands every Tuesday night for 8 weeks.  This is the place to invite a ton of friends.  They will also have appetizer specials for us as well as a great patio and upstairs lounge.  With the bands we are looking at, you will not want to miss this.  The cover is only that you bring a friend.

There are other great events that we are planning on the side.  To stay connected, you will want to follow us on Facebook, and check out our webpage.

Thanks for being an advocate for what we are doing in Dallas, and being a part of this community.
Please email me personally at PhilO@fellowshipdallas.org for any questions or if you just want to meet up and hear more about our vision for a Dallas wide Young Adult community.

On Mission,
Phil
