In this new era of ministry, we need to talk with each other about how to live into a new season with creativity, grace, and pastoral imagination.
We created the PPR Study Guide as a three-session study to help you lead these conversations with your Sunday School class, weekly prayer or study group, or at a congregational leadership retreat. Any place you gather your people is a good setting for the study.
The PPR Study Guide offers guidance for face-to-face meetings and also digital (i.e. Zoom) and hybrid gatherings. The Study Guide includes:
- Three full lessons
- Links to seven video clips for teaching
- A presentation slide deck
- 10 Permission Cards delivered to you by mail, for use in a Session 3 activity (more cards are available in packs of 10)
Session 1: FINDING OUR WAY
Session 2: BEARING WITNESS
Session 3: REVEALING HOPE
How can your group use the #PandemicPastoring Report and Study Guide to help you in this present
moment?
We believe this Study Guide will support you in these ways:
- to open conversations about how the last three years impacted lay leaders and ministers in different ways;
- to acknowledge the accumulated losses, changes, and grief;
- to offer clear ways to hear each other so you don't get stuck and can actually move forward;
- to gives yourselves permission to do the small and large things you are called by God to do;
- to dream together and tell future stories for a new era of shared ministry.
Pre-order is available now, and we extended the pre-order price for the study guide to April 18.
