How many of you would like to welcome new people in your church? It is one of the highest stated goals of the churches in The Gateway Regional District every year.

Our upcoming Fall Charge Conference learning time will offer you, and as many people from the congregation as possible, video teaching segments and exercises to help us all get better at meeting and inviting new people.

In the video teaching segments you will hear from Bishop Farr, Roger Ross (Director of Congregational Excellence), and Rev. Tim Schulte, Licensed Local Pastor who has become a master at connecting with new people.

In this 90-minute workshop you will learn and practice new skills; and leave with a plan of action for your church.

This year’s fall learning event will be held on Saturday, October 26 from 9:30am-11:30am at Centenary UMC in Bonne Terre. Be sure to contact the church office by Friday, October 18 if you would like to attend. Registration is required but FREE.
