Thank you for your leadership, maintaining the community and services that make us a vital congregation.
If you are on a committee or in a small group, ask your leader what you can do at this time. If you are a leader, you may want to try a virtual meeting. Most of our meetings are using Zoom (free download here)
Congregational Revitalization Initiative
“The purpose of the Vital Congregations Initiative is to work alongside leaders of existing congregations continually assessing, discerning and living into faithful actions that increase vitality through intentional spiritual practices that take them deeper into following Jesus Christ, so that their own lives are changed, congregations are transformed and the mission of God spreads throughout particular communities and the world.” –From Vital Congregation Page
