WHAT IS A MISSIONAL LEADERSHIP COHORT?
This peer learning community begins in early 2024 for lay and clergy participants who want to explore discerning prayer, deep dive discussions, engaging readings, goal-setting, mutual support and encouragement.
The Connectors SIX is a group of up to 10 eager pioneering-type people who gather monthly over a year for 10, two-day sessions (a mixture of residential retreats and Zoom meetings). This is a skill-building environment for faithful Anglicans who want to reach out to others, but aren’t sure how.
Participants in this cohort are a gift and asset to a local parish and their community. All costs are covered by the Diocese.    
 
Facilitators are: Kim Lively, Parish of Oakfield & Fall River; Bishop Ron Cutler (ret'd);  Rev. Canon Lisa Vaughn, Parish Vitality Coordinator.
