Engage with colleagues and explore strategies for preaching, planning, and programming during the summer months.\u201cSummertime and the living is easy,\u201d Clara sings to open Porgy and Bess. For many of our members, it may seem that way. 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."}
