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.
DATE: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3
FROM 10:00 AM TO 3:00 PM
NEW MODELS OF MERGERS AND COOPERATIVE MINISTRIES
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.
Cost $10 includes lunch
