Living Waters Cooperative Conference

A group from North Dakota will be gathering together September 16-18 in Minneapolis, MN for the Living Waters Cooperative Conference: A New Day Draws Near. This conference is focused on ways to reimagine church and community. From the Living Waters Cooperative website: "These days, many of us find ourselves wondering about the future of the church. [We will gather to] reflect, experiment, dream, and challenge the barriers that have often created obstacles in pursuing a Gospel-centered life in community.

Joining the conference from North Dakota are: Bishop Brian Thom, The Rev. Kim Fox, The Rev. Dn. Beth Lipp, Robert Fox, Christie Iverson, John Baird, and Jessica Krzewina.

Please hold our group in your thoughts and prayers as we gather in Minneapolis in a couple weeks.
