Modeled after Christ’s work, a shared (clergy and lay) Congregational Care model can help even small churches keep congregants well-cared for in times of need. Congregational Care pastors, Karen Lampe and Wendy Chrostek from Resurrection UMC in Kansas City will empower leaders from all-sized churches to frame a new and broader congregational care model, solidly grounded in theology and demonstrated by their best practices. Presented by The Academy for Leadership Excellence, the event will be hosted at First UMC, Cary on Tuesday, Feb.18, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Visit www.theafle.org for registration information or call 919-208-2169.
