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. 

After you lead the #PandemicPastoring Study in your setting, please tell us how it went! We look forward to hearing from you! 

Blessings and peace, 
Eileen
