'Indy Timeline' of Upcoming Events Reviving Indy's Near Eastside
[Subsequent article & photos re churches joining into a 'Family of Unity & Partnership'.]"Weeds taller than a person choke the lawn of an abandoned Near-Eastside home, while a neighborhood-sponsored nonprofit group guts and fixes the house next door. The rehabilitation is one of a number of projects that community and city leaders hope will help transform the Near Eastside in the next 31/2 years -- just in time for the 2012 Super Bowl"
"Joe Bowling, 32, is the "community builder" for the Great Indy Neighborhoods Initiative on the Near Eastside. He took a three-year leave of absence from his job as a real estate appraiser to help revive the neighborhood. He has coordinated a series of meetings for more than 500 residents to create a five-year quality-of-life plan for the area, and now he is working with the major players to make it happen. He hopes to encourage a grass-roots approach to improve the area, which, he says, will have a better chance of success than with the scattershot efforts of the past."

Six Bible-believing, near-eastside churches are committing to work together for the glory of God and the transformation of the Near Eastside...
"We the following pastors come together for fellowship and the transformation of the Near Eastside Neighborhood by the power of God (and the blessing of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ). Being led by the Holy Spirit as gospel preachers, we now commit ourselves to this task. We believe that salvation is by grace through faith, and it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. Eph. 2: 8-9. This salvation is both personal and corporate, (extends to the proclamation) proclaiming that by Christ all things are reconciled to God. Col. 1:20. We further believe that our God is a triune God, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, I John 5:7. Affirming (Based on our beliefs,) the Holy Scriptures also (commonly) known as the Word of God, and for the purpose of this great work, we now commit our congregations to fellowship (“marriage”) as brothers and sisters in Christ, and again for the glory of God and fulfillment of the scriptures. Acts 2:44."
Come help celebrate this launch, and let's all learn how to better 'BE the Church' and DO what God has commanded the Church to do... together... city by city, neighborhood by neighborhood.
