Loading...Is your parish looking for ways to revitalize your community outreach? Are you seeking to reach beyond the walls of your church, and build new collaborative partnerships? Do you struggle to find a meaningful response to the sometimes-overwhelming needs around us?
If your answer is yes, Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) may be just the toolkit you have been looking for! ABCD is an approach to engaging effectively with the communities around us. It emphasizes building on the strengths and assets in our midst rather than being stymied by the tremendous needs.
The diocese's School of Ministry invites all interested persons to join the faculty and students to receive the training, which will be presented by the Rev. Deacon Elaine Clements during the weekend of Nov. 18-19 at All Saints Conference Center near Leitchfield.
Participants will be given an overview of ABCD and will practice using skills and tools to apply these concepts to their own ministries and contexts.
The cost is $20 for "Day" Participants attending Nov. 19 (lunch is included). The cost for overnight participants is $85. To register or for more information, contact the Rev. Rose Bogal-Allbritten at rosebogal@gmail.com or 270-293-9490
A registration form may be downloaded here. A flyer for posting in your church may be found at //dl.dropbox.com/u/37053790/ABCD%20Poster.pdf
