Pre-Gathering Events
Thursday, April 27, 2pm-6pm at Lafayette Christian Church.
Please call the Regional Office to reserve your seat.
The first part of our time together will be a panel and group discussion around the question of “What does a transformed congregation and ministry look like?” Several pastors and ministers will share from their settings and there will be time for others to share their experiences too.
The second part of the time will be a “Town Hall with the Regional Ministers.” We will all be there — mostly, our Annual Gathering coordinator will be a little busy, to answer your questions. Please feel free to bring questions from your congregation”s members if you like.
A $10.00 fee will cover the cost of dinner.
Friday, April 28, 1pm-3pm at First Christian Church.
The book discussion is open to everyone.
