CHANGING MINDSETS FOR MINISTRY

MARK YOUR CALENDARS for a special online workshop that will take place Saturday, Feb. 22, 9-11 a.m. Central time, looking at "Changing Mindsets for Ministry." Our keynote leader will be Jeff MacDonald, a pastor and journalist from Massachusetts and author of Part-Time Is Plenty.

The workshop will look at changing models of congregational leadership, including shared ministry teams, greater involvement of lay leaders in the church's ministry, and helping church members re-conceptualize how they envision ministry and what constitutes a "successful" or vital church, among other topics. This free workshop is open to all, lay or clergy, and will take place on Zoom; register at https://changingmindsets.rsvpify.com. Due to our platform, we are limited to 100 participants. When you register, the confirmation email should provide you with the Zoom link; please do not share it. We will also send it out again closer to the time of the event. 

Our district is offering this in partnership with many of the surrounding Midwest/Plains districts, and with support from the denomination's Ministry Office. Clergy can receive 0.2 CEU’s. A flier was sent to the district list; contact the district office if you need a copy. Please consider joining us for this important opportunity as we look forward to new possibilities.
