From Missouri and Arkansas District
This year for their Witness Weekend, Cabool (Mo.) Church of the Brethren will be hosting a workshop on Nov. 5-6 at the church and online featuring David Radcliff, director of the New Community Project.
Radcliff will focus on being good neighbors in times of division and polarization. He will draw on his experiences working among several indigenous peoples. His friend, Pete Antos-Ketchum from Vermont, who has worked on these issues with several parties, will join the workshop via Zoom to share on this topic.
The workshop will begin at 8:15 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5, and conclude at 3 p.m. (central time). Lunch and refreshments will be provided on Saturday. Radcliff will lead Sunday school on Sunday, Nov. 6, at 9:30 a.m., and will bring a message during morning worship at 10:30 a.m. A carry-in lunch will follow the worship service on Sunday.
This workshop is free. District ministers who attend the Saturday workshop may earn continuing education units. Please register by Nov. 7 by contacting Cindy Sanders by email at moark.district23@gmail.com or by phone at 417-254-0858.
