The Art of Neighboring
NC Conference Building, Dixon Chapel 700 Waterfield Ridge Place, Garner, NCWhat if Jesus meant that we should love our actual neighbors? This is a question posed in the book The Art of Neighboring and it’s a question that every Christian needs to wrestle with. Neighborhoods are much more than a collection of houses, or apartments, brick and mortar… they are a collection of people and potential life-giving relationships. We all have a need for genuine community, and nothing beats the frequency, availability, and spontaneity of connecting with others who live near us.

But for clergy, summertime can be a mixed bag of low attendance, a drop off in participation, and decreased giving (unless one is serving a coastal appointment when summer can be your busiest time of the year). How does one make the most of summer days in preaching, planning, and programming? How does one keep a congregation engaged? Join us for this conversation.
