– June 28 – State College District presents Listening Sessions – Many of our churches have discovered during Mission InSite studies, we often make assumptions about how to best serve our communities without asking first! As the District is formulating strategic plans for the future, we don’t want to assume we know what our clergy and your churches need. We want to listen to you in order to plan how we can best serve you and help you in your mission. This is your opportunity to offer input and help strategically plan for the future as together we strive to effectively make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of lives and the world. Your Conference Superintendent, the District Leadership Team and District Lay Ministry Team will use your responses to strategically plan for best practices for supporting, equipping, and resourcing our clergy and churches.Pastor Theresa asks that you prayerfully consider investing in our church with your attendance.Our Listening Session is June 28, 2022 – 6:30 pm -State College & Penns Valley Clusters at Park Forest Village.
