Dear {first},

We want to invite you to this year's Faith & Work Conference on April 13-14: Formed to Work for the Glory of God. The third event in Redeemer's Formation Conference series, this two-day event will help us celebrate the remarkable reality that work matters.

We live in a city that’s driven by ambition and desperate for rest. But the gospel responds with a groundbreaking question: to what end? The gospel uniquely gives us a radical new vision that our work is for the glory of God: the issue is not that we expect too much from our work, but that we have come to expect too little.

In April, we’ll explore how we are being formed to work for the glory of God. Artists and educators, designers and technicians, homemakers, engineers, managers, entrepreneurs, doctors, and everyone in between are welcome. Speakers will include Tim Keller, Katherine Leary Alsdorf, myself, and we’re very excited to have Elizabeth Barlow Rogers, founder of the Central Park Conservancy, as well as over 25 Glimpse opportunities throughout NYC centered around work, culture and Sabbath.

We hope to see you there.

Sincerely,

David H. Kim, Executive Director, Center for Faith & Work
