Dialogue For Change  Bridging the Cultural Gap
                 August 28                               5:00 to 7:00 p.m.                        Linworth UMC

Whether you live in an urban area, suburban area or rural area there is a need for our churches to understand and embrace our differences in color, culture and personal understanding.  This evening will be an opportunity to hear from people of different cultures and different understandings sharing their personal stories with the opportunity to have table conversations together. 

On August 28th from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Linworth United Methodist Church in Dublin, Ohio we will be hosting a Dialogue for Change that is based on the topic of Bridging the Cultural Gaps in our Communities.  The leadership for this event has come from both clergy and laity across the region.  All are welcome and encouraged to come and allow your heart to be changed and moved through this time of personal stories, reflection and dialogue together.

Adam Hamilton, Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas and the author of "The Ministry of Administrative Assistants." She will challenge you to approach your tasks and people differently. As a secretary, administrative assistant or volunteer you are the gatekeeper, the bridge builder, keeper of the information and person with your finger on the pulse of the congregation. Join us to look at your ministry , the partnership and the level of support you need to be effective in your position as Christ walks alongside you.
