Ministry Collaborative Offers Trust-building Webinar | We hope the world can look upon followers of Jesus and say, “look how they trust one another, belong to one another, love one another, despite all the differences and division that the world assumes cannot be resolved!” But what sort of faith formation will this require? How will we promote radical humility, patience, forbearance, and faithfulness? Join the Ministry Collaborative on September 29 for a webinar about trust-building in the church and its vital role for proclaiming good news for our communities. | | |
