“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” - Margaret Mead
.
When Jesus began His ministry, He immediately formed a small group. Following in the footsteps of Jesus, we are continuing to offer opportunities to gather in small groups for discussion and empowerment around the prominent topics swirling in the crucible of change for us as faith leaders.
.
A majority of this hour will be spent in breakout rooms with conversations facilitated by our ELCA Coaches focused on:
  • Growing Young
  • Grief in our Communities
  • Personal Grief
  • Rural Ministry
  • Urban Ministry
  • Hybrid Church
  • Advocacy
  • Race Relations
  • Conflict
  • Leadership Development
.
Like each of you, we are learning as we go and will continue to edit topics based on interest and feedback.

We are mixing things up in 2022 as we continue to experiment and learn. You are invited to join us WEEKLY on Wednesdays at 1pm Central to hear from various leaders across the Church. We will continue with our theme of COURAGEOUS LEADERSHIP. We have invited various ministries to host these gatherings through this next year, so it will be different each week. There will usually be time for small groups in breakout rooms so that leaders across the church can continue to learn from each other and leave each gathering with at least one action step.
.
We are inviting you to bring a spirit of curiosity to these gatherings and to all aspects your life. What are you noticing? Where is Spirit moving? How might you be a part?
