Theology on Tap
|
 This month, we're asking: What can Christianity learn from other religions? What valuable insights, practices, or questions can we listen to from Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, atheism, agnosticism, and other different walks of faith?
We'll be at the Old Chicago in Apple Valley at 7pm on Monday, April 29th.
Click here to RSVP via Facebook so that we know how many places to reserve.
Want to share a topic idea? Other questions that you're wrestling with? Contact Emmy at emmy@lotwl.com.

The First Step in Calling a New Pastor
|
House Meetings are the first step in calling a new Pastor. Why start here? These meetings are held to gather community input on "who we are" as a LOTW community. We will take time to discuss what is important to people as a church: Where do people's passions lie?Where would you like to see our energy be focused as a community? This information will help to formulate a Ministry Site Profile document which will be sent to the Synod for use in the initial screening of candidates for LOTW's call of a new pastor.
At the House Meeting, you'll be invited to share:
- Why you came to Light of the World
- What keeps you here
- Your fears, hopes and dreams for the future
