Bringing New Excitement to Parish Ministry Presented by Sue Erschen
Have all the same people been doing all the same things for years in your parish? If so, it might be time to evaluate and rethink your ministry strategies.
Do you need to offer new options? Reach out in new ways? Seriously seek new faces? This webinar will help you think outside the box when it comes to parish ministry. It will offer ideas for developing, promoting, and sustaining the right ministries for this time in the life of your very unique parish.
