Church Beyond the Walls: Mission Possible Conferenece
Saturday, September 23, 2017
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I would like to invite you, your lay leadership, and all members of your congregation to a parish evangelism workshop, September 23, 2017 called Church Beyond the Walls: Mission Possible. This will be a half day workshop for the Central, Eastern, and Western Convocations in the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas.
This practical workshop provides a framework for developing an intentional evangelistic/ missional strategy for your parish.
We will explore:
- The missional call of the church and discerning God’s call for your specific parish.
- The demographics of your wider community and how to reach new people.
- Practical steps needed to prepare your congregation to reach beyond its walls.
- Essentials for making your parish more missional and outward focused.
- A step by step framework for developing a strategy to reach people in your community who do not know God or do not have a church home.
I hope you can join us for this practical an engaging workshop.
Yours in Christ,
Carrie
