On November 1 and 2, 2013 the Mission Strategy Committee is presenting Moving Back into the Neighborhood, a workshop conducted by Alan Roxburgh, coauthor of Introducing The Missional Church, and The Missional Network (TMN).
Do you want to know where to find Jesus today? Have you ever wondered how to go about figuring out what God is up to in the world? The response to each is the same: join with Jesus and move back into the neighborhood because that's where we'll connect with what God is up to.
Mission-shaped life in local churches is about moving back into the neighborhood and connecting again with the places and people where we live and work. If we are to take Luke 10: 1-12 seriously then we need to learn the skills of entering and dwelling in and among the people of the neighborhoods where we live and work.
This workshop is open to all lay and clergy (and especially teams of lay and clergy from congregations) who would like to discover what God might be up to in their neighborhoods and plan for ways of joining with God there.
- Easy to understand concepts and tools for this journey back into the neighborhood.
- Resources for biblical reflection and spiritual practices.
To be held Friday, November 1, 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. and Saturday, November 2, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
The registration deadline is Thursday, October 24. Register online.
The registration fee of $25 per person covers all meals. There is a discounted rate of $75 per team for teams of four or more people from one congregation.
