Presbyterian Global Fellowship announces "Moving Back into our Neighborhoods -- The Work of the Missional Church" -- A Consultation with Alan Roxburgh and Mark Lau Branson.
What: Moving Back into the Neighborhood (MBiN) Workshop is an event designed to assist people in a local church discover what God might be up to in their neighborhoods and among their neighbors, and plan for ways of joining with God there.
Why: We believe mission-shaped life in local churches is about moving back into the neighborhood and connecting again with the places and people where we live and work. If we are to take Luke 10:1-12 seriously and as the basis for the ways we shape local church life across North America then we need to learn the skills of entering and dwelling in and among the people of the neighborhoods where we live and work. "My folks felt very challenged, encouraged and excited as we came back home. During worship, in place of the usual sermon, my elders stood up and shared what they had heard, or how they sensed the Spirit leading or speaking. It was a powerful time." Joel Adams, First Presbyterian Church, Olney, IL.
What to Expect: This two-day workshop provides local churches and denominational leaders with easy to understand concepts, tools and resources for this journey back into the neighborhood. It will assist people understand how to read what is happening in a community, the types of people who shape its make up, where they have come from, the images shaping their lives and the desires that form them at this moment.
Who: All leaders. Groups encouraged! This consultation is meant to be a time of work and discernment with your team.
Where: Nationwide! Alan Roxburgh is a sought-after leader in missional transformation. We are privileged to have him in Atlanta, hosted by Peachtree Presbyterian Church, April 28-29, 2010.
