Lord of Grace Family and Friends
We embark on the next page in the transition process for Lord of Grace, that is gathering your feedback on what’s important to you. We are starting this week to sponsor Cottage Meetings for the entire congregation:
What is a cottage meeting? A one time, small group gathering to share your input on your Lord of Grace journey, hopes, concerns, and expectations.
Why are we having cottage meetings? We need congregational input to paint the story of who Lord of Grace has been, who we are now, and who we want to be for prospective pastoral candidates.
Who is invited? We need the feedback of Lord of Grace members (new and old), Lord of Grace friends, virtual attendees, and staff. All are invited to participate.
When are the meetings? Meetings dates and times are through August to October. There are weekday morning and afternoons, weeknights, and weekends
Where are the meetings? Meetings are at people’s homes, at Lord of Grace, and virtual.
How are the meetings run?
