This week's prayer concerns:
Two-day Workshop: Developing and Maintaining an Outward Heartset & Mindset
Our Objective:
To help the people in our churches and communities to see themselves and every human being as a beloved child of God in order to be better prepared to be part of making disciples for Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
We invite teams, individuals, lay & clergy leadership to participate in a workshop that brings us to a renewed awareness of ways to use deeper insight to strengthen relationships and ministry.
Many have commented that this workshop has reawakened their God-given longing to genuinely appreciate, support, and learn from all, so that we are better able to be in ministry together. Speak with Pastor Kelly if you are interested in attending.
For more information, contact Debbie Earthrowl @ (518) 391-3215 or [email protected], or Bill Mudge at [email protected].
