Brothers and sisters, join us on Saturday, February 23rd as Moravians gather together to worship, learn, and share. What are the secrets to RCC success? How can you serve the Lord in mission? What if your traditional youth ministry isn’t working? Need a few creative ideas to spice up traditional worship? What does it take to be an effective board member? Where do young adults fit into the future of the church? Whether pastor, staffer, Christian educator, youth leader, socially-conscious Moravian, techie, board member, Sunday School teacher, RCC rep, or interested bystander . . . come to Leadership Focus 2013 at Home Church from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. to answer these questions and many more! See Pastor Allen after worship today for a brochure and registration form. Summaries for Donations made in 2012 to the church’s General Fund are available today. Donations made to the Capital Campaign will be listed in a completely separate summary. See Johnny Vanhoy.
