Lunch & Books!
A New Group for Pastors

Calling all Mid-Career and Beyond Pastors! We’re excited to share the news that a new group for convivial lunch and book discussion will be beginning in March.

This group will meet monthly in a brewpub-type place for friendship over lunch and book discussion led by Byron Borger, owner of the fabulous Hearts and Minds Bookstore.

The first gathering will actually be at the bookstore to pick out books for the months ahead. The group will also come up with the name for the group.

The Engaging Our Mission Committee has given a grant for this new initiative that will pay for the first book and lunch for the first year for participants.

While pastors who are newer in ministry have had the NewLead Pastor Cohort for a number of years, we’re glad to have an opportunity for pastors further along in ministry.

Please register you interest in this group by clicking this link. This will sign you up as interested. We’ll then be in touch to find dates that work for everyone.
