Is your congregation ready to take some steps toward renewal or revitalization? Ready to try new things, share ideas, and find new allies from within a cohort of congregations? You are invited to the ELCA Vital Congregations Training, Part 1! This is a fast-paced, co-creative training facilitated by leaders with experience in redeveloping congregations. You will explore: focusing on Jesus and justice; being eager for the Holy Spirit; living as disciples of Jesus; engaging the community; and more. This four-session training will be held two times each day—1:30-3:00 p.m. and 7:30-9:00 p.m.—on Thursdays: June 15, June 29, July 13, and July 27. Choose the best time for you. All sessions will be recorded and available to those registered. Pastors and congregations are encouraged to come as teams of 3–5 people. Contact Pastor Danielle DeNise to help get you registered!
