Laity Convocation - Show Me the Way

Many thanks to the 200+ attendees of last week's training session in Sycamore. More than $2,000 was collected for disaster relief in Haiti, and participants gave great reviews of the presentations on how to help their local church fight the diseases of poverty and to be in mission with the poor in their community and around the world.
