Event will be April 8-9, 2011 at Clay Center in CharlestonHow can we be Ambassadors for Christ? Join the West Virginia
Conference Evangelism team along with a presenters Rev. Tyrone Borden,
Dr. Paul Borden, and Rev. Cathy Townley to explore the answers to this
question.
 "Christ's posture toward outsiders was a radical love that invited
them into a journey with him," Rev. Amy Shanholtzer, Director of
Evangelism & Congregational Development, said. "Commission Possible
will challenge, inspire, and educate us in how we might do the same." Visit wvumc.org/evangelism to learn more and register online. |
