• Embracing God’s Future without Forgetting the Past -- with Michael Girlinghouse  

  •  A conversation about grief, loss, nostalgia and congregational life. Most congregations can remember a time in the past when there were families and children in full pews.  We will learn how to work through our grief over the loss of the “glory days” and learn how we can draw strength, courage and vision for the future from our memories of days gone by.  

• Creative Tension - with Michael Girlinghouse

  • Wherever two or three are gathered in Jesus’ name, there will be differences of opinion, disagreement and a diversity of perceptions and experiences.  Guaranteed.  The question is not whether or not there is conflict in congregational life, but how we work through the inevitable conflicts that arise and use them creatively to strengthen and grow our ministries.

• Motivating Vitality in Your Congregation -- with Marj Funk-Pihl

  • People say they want to change, but then resist every effort to move them. Why? We'll look at several reasons and discuss communication practices that help folks join in your efforts and minimize resistance. ​
