 Save the Date for the Fall Ministerium
Reforming the Church: Mission and Ministry in an Age of Limits
Nov. 8, 8:30 a.m.-12:00 noon
Lutheran Church of the Resurrection, St. Paul. This year's fall ministerium, "Reforming the Church: Mission and Ministry in an Age of Limits," focuses on missional priorities with reduced capacity. How can recognizing our limitations open in our congregations a new creation? When all is said and done, how can we enter into these times knowing that the Spirit may well be birthing something very good among us? Discussion will be led by Peter Rogness. More information can be found on the Ministeriums event page. |
