Pastor’s:
Stable and continuing to work with the Litchfield area churches. Would like to continue to work with and collaborate in the future. We will be working together remotely on Confirmation.
The plan for my continuing education as a group in October, probably won’t happen, but I will be taking the week of October 13th-19th for personal study.
We need to address what our longer term goal of getting together as a group looks like and address what we’re hearing from our community.
Where do we hear the Spirit calling us? Thinking bigger and broader, crisis can reignite spirituality.
