We are looking for elders, deacons, seminary students, retired clergy and lay persons who want to explore a call to plant an inclusive, diverse, dynamic, progressive church. This Time for Discernment with an experienced congregational developer will help you identify basic gifts and experiences conducive to effective leadership as a new planter and which models may be more suitable to your leadership style.

The workshop will begin at 2pm Wed. October 11 and finish at 3pm Thursday October 12, 2006.
