This year our topic is Hospitality.  There are two presenters.  The first is Pastor Laura Natwick, Assistant to the Bishop in our Northwest Minnesota Synod and her topic is entitled"How to Keep People from Coming to Your Church."   Rev. Natwick is going to use Humor to teach us what not to do and share with us some great opportunities for us to be warm and inviting congregations.   The second session features Rev. Deb Stehlin, Director for Evangelical and Mission for the Minneapolis Area Synod.   Pr. Stelin will help us with some ideas on how to bring our hospitality to our neighbors.
