IMAGINE: 2023 CLERGY RETREAT & POTLUCK EXPERIENCE EVENT

The district’s Ministry Leadership Development Team will sponsor the 2023 Clergy Spring Retreat April 19-20 at the Bishop Lane Retreat Center near Rockford. Greg Davidson Laszakovits, a former Church of the Brethren pastor and current congregational consultant/leadership coach will be the keynote speaker.

This time together will focus on helping pastors and others re-think and imagine the future for their congregations and ministry settings, work that has been at the center of Greg’s work through GDL Insight. How do we cast a new vision in changing times? At least 0.5 CEU’s will be available for pastors who participate. Further details on cost and schedule will be coming soon.

Greg will also be the keynote speaker at the district’s 2023 Potluck Experience event, which will be Saturday, April 22, at the Dixon Church of the Brethren using the district’s 2023 theme, “Encourage One Another.” Several “equipping session” workshops will also be offered to help us continue imagining, along with a time of worship, and, of course, a good potluck meal in the midst of it all! Stay tuned for more information on that event in the coming weeks, as well.
