Life Giving Practices
Life Giving Practices
This group is a response to Professor Craig Nessan's call for Pastors at the January 2012 Oregon Synod Bishop's Convo to list life giving practices we know of that are happening in our congregations.
Those of you who were not at the convo are welcomed (encouraged) to join us in posting what life giving practices are occurring in your congregation . . . or circle of friends . . . or life with others.
The purpose of this group is to share God's Shalom among us.
