You’ve heard the expression, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” Have you ever felt that way in ministry? Are there certain demographics that remain disconnected despite repeated invitations and efforts to involve them? In our next Zoom meeting we will have an open table discussion about these hard to reach groups and share ideas as to how to try to engage them in different ways. Mark your calendars and come ready to share your struggles and ideas! For more information contact Mary Lou McDowell.
