Lenten/Easter Series – Episcopal Evangelism 101
Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ?
I will. . . but how? With God’s help. And with some practical guidance.
Join Rev. Annie in this 6 week course that will equip you to share the good news authentically, naturally, and without the “join or burn” rhetoric that many of us think of. We’ll gather for soup, bread, salad, and conversation, then transition into the material that incudes short video clips, large and small group discussions, and activities. Gatherings begin at 5:30pm.
