Conference Listening Session

Northern Plains Conference is hosting a series of listening sessions to hear how congregations want to move forward together.  Our invitation is to the meeting on May 5 in Hillsboro.  We’ll carpool there together immediately following worship.  Please sign the clipboard if you want to attend.  Here are the question prompts:

  • What would happen if we lived out of a sense of abundance rather than scarcity?

  • How would we act differently if we decided not to hide our light under a bushel?

  • What if we followed Jesus who “flipped” not only the tables in the Temple, but people’s perceptions and assumptions?
