On behalf of SJ-ACT and ARTC, Mollie Conrad and Karen Zimmerman are attending MICAH’s Sacred Conversations Listening Campaign. This training was being promoted at MICAH’s gala and the john powell’s presentation Belonging, Bridging, and Beloved Community. We would love if any member of the Engagement Team could join us.
The training is Saturday, September 13, from 1 – 4 pm at St. Matthew C.M.E. (2944 N. 9th Street) in Milwaukee.
Congregations are as strong or as weak as the relationships that bind them together. MICAH’s Sacred Conversations Listening Campaign is a focused and disciplined community-building effort in congregations. Sacred Conversations is a 6 to 8-week campaign that strengthens faith communities by training listening teams of lay leaders to deepen relationships with congregants through intentional conversations. Goals of training: increase leadership and connection; uncover shared passions, discern collective vision for the community, and identify congregational needs. MICAH is recommending one trainee for every 6 to 8 Sacred Conversations planned.
Please let Karen Zimmerman know if you are able to attend.
