The Transforming Power of Mission, an inspirational and practical workshop for congregations in the Presbytery of Ohio Valley will be presented at 2 (identical) workshops:
Saturday, October 9: First Presbyterian Church, Columbus
Saturday, October 23: Indiana Presbyterian Church, Vincennes
10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. EST (9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Central Time)
Registration & Refreshments at 9:15 a.m. (8:15 Central)
Lunch will be provided at no cost.
At this workshop, you will:
- Hear from the Rev. Joan Stewart, Executive Director of WV Ministry of Advocacy and Workcamps, as she tells the “God story” of how a tiny congregation in a declining community moved from a survival mentality to a mission mentality, and as she shares insights and practical ideas for how other congregations can do the same.
- Explore with one another and with Joan how to apply these insights and ideas to our local settings.
- Worship and fellowship with sisters and brothers in our presbytery.
