$ Loaves and Fishes: Discovering Hidden Possibilities for You and Your Church (BeADisciple.com)

Does your congregation have “enough” of everything? “Enough” of anything? As the Covid-19 pandemic recedes, that seems like a crazy question – none of us do!

Having taught classes through BeADisciple for years, Rev. Beth Galbreath has heard a lot of folks’ worries about churches struggling to stay alive. And now, with churches having closed for in-person worship for months, then continuing in hybrid form, business as usual has been disrupted. Where do we go from here?

She’s also heard bishops preach to church leaders about switching their focus to “Abundance!” And folks say, “Yeah, right, and how do we do that – especially now?” This course is one possible answer to that question. It will provide you with specific, practical tools that you can use in your congregation immediately (even by Zoom) to get “unstuck” and moving. And getting unstuck has never been more important – and more daunting – than now. Spring may seem like an odd time to be looking forward, but it’s a great time to consider your possibilities for fall!

Learners must obtain the book The Power of Asset Mapping: How Your Congregation Can Act on Its Gifts by Luther K. Snow, which is not included in the course fee. There will be a short daily reading, reflection and small group discussion. (This class will not include face to face online meetings.) Participants will be invited to do class exercises with one or more partners in their congregation, if possible.

Because of the very challenging situation in which we find ourselves, for this session only, a discount code of “covid” will reduce your price by $15, to $50.
