This workshop, co-sponsored by the Presbytery of the James and the Virginia Synod, is designed for pastors and congregational leaders who have found themselves asking some of these questions about the future life and ministry of their congregation:
– What ministries are we no longer able to do?
– What ministry is God calling us to do now?
– What will our resources look like in the coming year?
The Rev. MaryAnn McKibben Dana will introduce the tools of “design thinking,” a process to help congregations imagine, create and implement ministries that matter now.
MaryAnn is a writer, pastor, speaker, and ministry coach living in Virginia. She is the author of “God, Improv and the Art of Living” and 2012’s “Sabbath in the Suburbs.” She is a sought-after speaker, preacher, conference leader, and writer around issues of leadership, faith formation, and congregational transformation.
The event is free and will last from 9:30 AM until Noon.
