Kindlings WinterFest this weekend at Orcas Community Church
“iGods: How to live a Fully Human Life in an electronically Mediated Age” is the theme of this year’s WinterFest at the Orcas Island Community Church.
Youth and media culture expert Dr. Craig Detweiler will provoke thinking and conversion with this timely exploration of cell phones, social networking and the ways technology is changing human life. Reservations are appreciated (as are donations) but not required.
Actor Nigel Goodwin will also be with us. It is not too late to invite some friends and join us for this important weekend… Guests of all ages are welcome… For more information go online at: https://www.thekindlings.com/winterfest-2014/. All lectures are at Orcas Island Community Church. See schedule below.
Fri. 7PM – ”The Apple of Our Eye.” How should we respond to the possibilities and temptations contained in our smart phones? Can we cultivate our call to create rather than merely consume?
Sat. 9AM – Contemplative Worship with Jeff Johnson and Wendy Goodwin
Sat. 10AM – “More than Metrics.” In the online world, you are what you click. How do we get beyond the filter bubbles created by Google, Amazon, and Netflix to something deeper? What will it take for us to see ourselves and each other?
Sat. 7PM – “Our Social Selves.” From Facebook and Instagram to Twitter and YouTube, social media allows us to aggregate friends and followers into an audience. What does it mean to join an online community? How do we care for others in an age of digital discipleship?
Sunday 10:30AM “Faith and the Telos of Technology.” Where is technology heading? From hip replacements to pacemakers to hearing aids, we’re all becoming cyborgs enhanced by technological upgrades. How do the values of technological efficiency (fast, cheap, convenient) square with faith?
