2018 Ministry Mingle "Visions of a Courageous Church"
|
The 2018 Desert Southwest Annual Conference invites you to participate in the "Visions of a Courageous Church" Ministry Mingle, our “next generation” of the ministry fair . In an effort to foster collaboration and networking in a completely different way during Annual Conference we invite each church, ministry setting, conference, and district ministry to submit a poster that demonstrates how you are called by God to be a courageous church, loving like Jesus, acting for justice, united in hope.
What does this mean my poster should look like?
1) Each should reflect the very best of what your ministry has to offer our United Methodist Connection in the Desert Southwest Conference.
2) Each should teach about one ministry or one effort that others can join in with or replicate in their own area, this can be a unique ministry or the very best ministry your group does.
3) Each should tie us into the bigger story of how "God is calling you to be a courageous church, loving like Jesus, acting for justice, united in hope."
These posters will be on display in the primary meeting space of annual conference Thursday the 14th through Saturday the 16th. At different times during the conference, there will be opportunities to share your vision with others and invite others to share in the courageous calling of these ministries!
