October 17, 2015: Central Association Fall Meeting
Posted on : Oct 1st, 2015 | By office | Category: Special Events
What is more feared than a root canal?
Worse than the “prep” for a colonoscopy?
Yup, you guessed it: Progressive Christians learning to talk about God!
We progressive Christians are great at saying who we are not;
but who are we and how do we tell our story?
That will be the focus of our Fall (and Spring) meeting(s).
Four of our 20/30 clergy: Revs. Susie Bjork, John Forrest Douglas, Katy Hyman and Andy Schwiebert will be sharing their faith stories
as they lead us in worship; and
we’ll all have a chance to learn how to tell our faith-story.
