SUMMARY:'Set Apart to Serve' Resource Launch Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:To kick off the next stage of its church work recruitment initiative\, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod will host an online Set Apart to Serve Resource Launch Town Hall on Wednesday\, Sept. 27\, from 1 to 2 p.m. Central time. The live town hall will also be recorded to watch at any time afterward. \nSAS is a collaborative effort across the Synod to support and encourage future church workers. The goal is to create an intentional culture of church worker formation in every LCMS congregation\, Lutheran school and camp. The Synod is developing resources and tools to help congregations foster this culture. \nDuring the past five and a half months\, SAS has been working with 36 congregations\, schools and camps that represent all 35 LCMS districts to pilot-test SAS resources and tools. \nFeedback from the pilot sites has helped the LCMS refine these resources\, and SAS is excited to share these effective tool kits with you. \nDuring the town hall\, the hosts will: \n\nProvide a brief overview of the SAS program;\n\n\nShare what was learned working with the pilot participants;\n\n\nIntroduce resources and tools to help congregations\, schools and camps with raising up the next generation of church workers; and\n\n\nProvide the next steps on how to make SAS work in your congregation.\n\nRegistration for the town hall is now open. Each congregation with a representative attending the town hall will receive a free welcome kit. \nThis town hall will be recorded and offered alongside the full collection of SAS resources. If you’re unable to attend the live event but intend to watch the recording\, please register as an attendee so your church or organization will be eligible to receive the free welcome kit. \nRegister now \n  \n\nJoin Zoom meeting\n\n\nMeeting ID: 896 7406 1102\n\n\nPasscode: 427217\n\n  \n\nLCMS Set Apart to Serve\n\nlcms.org/set-apart-to-serve\n\n\n888-843-5267 (THE LCMS)\n\n\nsetapart2serve@lcms.org
