Our 16 Xenia area United Methodist Common Cup churches are encouraging church members to register for the Friday to Saturday October 24-25 "Change the World Conference" at Ginghamsburg UMC located in Ginghamsburg, Ohio.
The plenary speakers will be Brian McLaren, Jim Wallis, Adam Hamilton, and Mike Slaughter. There will also be break-out sessions on many different areas of the life of the church.
For lay members with at least 3 from one church, cost is only $119 per person. The clergy rate is $79. I have been challenging Faith Community to have at least 25 lay people from our church attend this conference.
As a follow-up to the "Change the World" Conference, our Wednesday Common Cup Food Court/Growth Group program will offer a conference debriefing gathering on Wednesday, October 29, 7:00 P.M. at Faith Community. This is open to those who attended and those who are interested in learning about what was shared at the conference.
"Change the World" sounds a lot like our church's mission statement - "Make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world."
Sign up soon!
