This webinar will cover additional insights, building on the main Changeover Zone Transition Workshop held on May 3, 2025. It will include both new content and a recap of key points from the workshop.
We welcome all to attend -- those who participated in the May 3 workshop, those who were unable to attend, and those whose appointments were made afterward. Retirees are strongly encouraged to attend, as an important aspect of this workshop is how to say goodbye and how to help the congregation welcome the next pastor.
Sat., May 3
8:30 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Our Redeemer’s UMC, Schaumburg, 1600 W. Schaumburg Rd.
