Evangelism Team Planning EventSunday July 129:45 am – 11:15 amEvangelism Team Planning Event
Evengelism Planning Event: How can we reclaim “evangelism” from something that, to be honest, most of us would rather avoid doing to a way of intentionally extending hospitality as the church? We all know what genuine hospitality feels like when we experience it as a guest. In the church, being intentional about hospitality shares the good news of Jesus, helps others know that they are important and loved, and builds community. The newly formed evangelism team will meet on Sunday, July 12 between services in the Library. They will be brainstorming ideas on how to grow St. Andrew’s welcome and hospitality as we seek to invite people into a community of faith. Even if you aren’t part of the team, you are welcome to join us for this initial meeting to share your ideas and thoughts. Contact
Ros Thorpe at ros.thorpe@live.com or Susan Candea at susan.candea@gmail.com.with any questions you have. - 9:45 am – 10:30 am
