Saturday, March 14, 2020

8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Rev. Stuart Higginbotham

When encountering a "decline" in typical congregations, there can be much anxiety and fear. Rather than a time for despair, what if this is a season of deconstruction and reconstruction? Let’s imagine the living experience of Christian community through the lens of a contemplative posture rather than simply a program maintenance model.

Offering: $65 (includes lunch)
