Interim Ministry Discussions
Recently, two preacher friends inquired about interim ministry. They indicated an interest in the possibility of doing this and asked how I might help them explore and understand the process better. I proposed three meetings of three hours. After this, we will evaluate and decide if we would like to continue or not. Anyone who wants to be a participant is welcome.
The discussions will be held at the LaVergne church of Christ. The first meeting was Thursday, February 16, 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. Others may join at any time. Please let me know if you plan to attend.
