Presenter: Rev. Dr. Michael Piazza
On Saturday, August 15 at 9:00 am, meet Rev. Dr. Michael Piazza and learn about how to execute practical changes in the area of stewardship and to focus your church on a clear vision for vital "vintage churches," his phrase for mainline/traditional churches.
The presentation and consultation is open only to UM churches in the Northern Illinois Conference.

Churches will then be invited to join Rev. Piazza for four 60-90 minute sessions in 2020. Visit the website for more information at umfnic.org/summit.
