Missional Community Engagement Forum
On Saturday, May 19th we will host our second annual Missional Community Engagement Forum. The goal of this event is to offer substantive practices to churches seeking relevance and revitalization in the 21st century. Our keynote speaker this year is Rev. Andrew Roberts, author of Holy Habits and our promise is that all who attend will leave with new insights on the connections between spiritual disciplines and life-changing community engagement. If you truly desire to be part of a movement "creating safe spaces where all are accepted, connecting the needs of people to the presence of God, and transforming the world through Christ," then this is the event for YOU! In addition to hearing, conversing and learning from Rev. Roberts, lunch, snacks and the book "Flood Gates" by Rev. Sue Nilson Kibbey will be provided. To register please click on the link below, under Upcoming Opportunities.  Space is limited, so please register right away. Any questions/concerns should be directed to Carol Merante (cmerante@nyac.com) or Rev. David A. Gilmore (dgilmore@nyac.com).
 
Grace and Peace,
Reverend David A. Gilmore
Dir. Congregational Development & Revitalization
New York Conference of The United Methodist Church
