What are the challenges to speaking into moral problems with integrity? And how can ministers say hard things to those they love? Join us on October 27 for lunch, fellowship, worship, and an encouraging word from Dr. Myles Werntz.
We will look at several hard conversations in Scripture, in which moral disagreement is at the heart of the difficulty, and how they can inform our work as ministers, pastors, and church leaders. In these conversations, we gain wisdom not just for how to say with integrity what is in our minds and hearts, but how these figures did so with love and clarity.
Our regional Equipping for Ministry gatherings aim to equip church leaders with tools for ministry, to provide them with times of fellowship and worship with other leaders, and to build ongoing relationships with other congregations in their area. All of these are so important during these difficult times, when so many church leaders feel alone, isolated, and frustrated.
Please RSVP so we can order enough lunch and set out enough chairs!
