Survey Opportunity
The Flourishing Congregations Institute has partnered with Sanctuary Mental Health Ministries on a national survey that explores mental health and illness in Canadian congregations. Would you consider sharing this survey with those in your network, notably pastors to share with their congregations for congregants to complete, and denominational leaders to send out to churches in their districts? You could also consider taking 10-15 minutes yourself to complete the confidential/anonymous survey. For more information, visit the SMHM Survey Resource Page.

Parish leaders want to use Alpha as a tool for bringing more people to Jesus and growing disciples. Alpha can be the engine that drives our missional energy in a parish, but there are some things we can do to unintentionally cause "missional engine failure." This makes re-launching or starting Alpha without repeating past mistakes tricky. Divine Renovation is here to help! Join the next From the Trenches online event to learn best practices with Alpha and how to use it in your overall mission of helping others encounter the Holy Spirit while improving the parish culture, and nurturing new leaders.
