FEATURED WORKSHOP: DISCIPLESHIP BY DESIGN
Each week, we're featuring one of our four workshops at convention with what you can expect to come away with to share with your congregation. This week, we're talking about our Consultant for Small Church Leadership Tommy Drake's workshop "Discipleship by Design" with Emily Gowdy Canady. In this workshop, get ready to engage in Christian formation in real time! You can expect to interact with other workshop participants, as well as learn some new ideas from both the experience and others in the room. In addition, some practical tips as well as a Q & A time will be shared and offered.
A mailing went out today with the 2023 due dates for all canonically-required reports to all wardens. You can also find this document with due dates on this page under the heading Parish Resources. For direct access to the PDF of due dates, click this link.
