Location: 
Bentley College, Waltham

Save the date and start recruiting a team from your parish to attend this year’s Congregational Resource Day at the lovely Conference Center at Bentley College in Waltham.  The workshops are designed to help develop skills and give you tools for many areas of Congregational Development.

Bring a team from your parish: the vestry, Sunday school teachers, stewardship committees, outreach and mission committees, youth leaders, welcoming committees, webmasters, newsletter editors, EFM participants, young adults, building & grounds committee, confirmation mentors, and adult education committees.  It’s not just for clergy – there is something for everyone.

This year all three bishops will be with us for workshops, reflection, and to share stories of vitality, growth, and mission from around the diocese.
