Elgin District Lay Servant Gathering

Location: Online

Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 7pm or Saturday, Nov. 21 at 2pm (choose one)

A Gathering of Elgin District Lay Servants

All Elgin District Laity are invited to attend a 90-minute gathering  for a time of sharing, prayer, District Lay Servant Ministry(LSM) updates, and information gathering for an early spring 2021 Virtual Lay Academy.  

We plan to offer several LSM courses with two Lay Academies in 2021 with the highest attendance in years.  The Spring Lay Academy will be virtual so we need to get input in order to successfully meet the needs of the Elgin District Laity.  The more we know about your needs the better we can tailor our efforts to serve you. 

Our team wants to hear from you! Join us Tuesday Nov. 17 or Saturday Nov. 21!

To receive your Zoom link for either session, please contact Connie Schweitzer via email at cepschw@att.net.
