Dear Gathering  Congregational Leaders:

Less then 30 days till the Gathering and much to share!

Important Practice Discipleship Information from Dave
 
Here are the needs and opportunities that I have for youth and adult leaders to be involved in worship, and in the Practice Discipleship Day:

On Friday's Practice Discipleship Day, we gather first for worship, and then for learning.

Needed for Worship:
6 youth to serve as communion assistants
2 Adult Leaders to serve as the sacristans
15 youth and chaperones to serve as ushers

Opportunity:
3 youth who would like to serve as worship leaders

Please email Dave Dalzell: mtnjku@gmail.com

Reminder to all adult leaders:
  • After worship, one adult leader from each congregation will be expected to serve as small group leaders for our Practice Discipleship Learning Time.  
  • After worship, you will come forward to receive a bag with the materials you will need to lead the small groups. 
  • Each small group leader will be given a script to use to lead their small group in discussion. 
  • Some of the learning will be done as a large group, some of the learning will be done in small groups. 
  • The small group time is very scripted, so don't be intimidated about this. 
If you have any questions about this, or would like a copy of the script in advance, please email Dave.
