We will spend time together, understand each other and our ways of being church how can share, teach, and encourage each other. In our listening to God we will be part of a community that is an ecumenical learning community.  

Saturday 10 - 2: For Lay leaders and Clergy. What are God’s desires for the church, my life, my leadership? How can we make a difference and have impact in our lives, our networks, the world?  We will engage in building community and interactive leadership development.
