MP3 Meeting: How High Are The Hurdles?
It's important that you join us next week for our monthly MP3 meeting BECAUSE YOU ARE THE SPEAKER.
Okay, you're not the official speaker, but your input is going to be critical to the success of our meeting. Rather than have a panel like we normally do, we are going to generate some small group discussion around our lunch tables, brainstorm some issues critical to the church and then report to one another what we've discussed and learned. The discussion topic will be HOW HIGH ARE THE HIGH HURDLES? and we'll be focused on hurdles our churches are overcoming to reach the world for Christ.
Location: Cherry Hills Community Church, Front Lobby, 3900 Grace, Highlands Ranch, CO 80126
Please bring your own bag lunch. Drinks and dessert will be provided.
