Joy and Lament: Statement from Queer Clergy Caucus
The Northern Illinois Queer Clergy Caucus celebrate the gains made at General Conference and call United Methodists to an affirming, not just neutral, stance.
Churches come in all forms of health: some are healthy and growing, others are maintaining the status quo, and some are declining. But they all have one thing in common – they want to be fruitful and healthy. One way this can happen is through partnerships or mergers. Attend this workshop and explore new ways your church might become healthier through a merger. Featuring Rev. Dirk Elliott, Director of Congregational Vibrancy, Michigan Conference.
Date: Saturday, October 6, 2018, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm
Location: Faith UMC, 15101 80th Avenue, Orland Park, IL 60462
Fee: $10 for lunch
