The 14th annual LCMC Gathering in Des Moines, Iowa, is just a month away! If you haven't done so, please make plans RIGHT NOW to register so you don't miss out on being engaged in our shared mission to plant 1,000 congregations in the next 10-years!
Here are some plant and missional training possibilities for you in Des Moines...
* Food packaging: Join others (we're hoping for 1,000 helpers) to put together 400,000 food packets in just two-hours to bless those in need (Tuesday, October 7, 5:00-7:00 pm). For greater details and sign-up, check-out our LCMC.net website for the Annual Gathering Registration. This ministry moment is for everyone, but what a great way to feed mission into our DNA!
* Church Planter's Reunion Dinner, Monday, October 6, 6:00 pm. Anyone who has planted a congregation in the past 3-years is invited to enjoy dinner and fellowship time together. Spouses are welcome! First, sign-up for what is listed as the District Dinner ($20.00) then CONTACT ME (dan@lcmc.net) to let me know you'll be joining the "Planter's Table." This way we know how many to plan for. We'll enjoy sharing the ups-and-downs of church planting to be encouraged and empowered.
* Breakout Session: "Missio Missiles for Taking' it to the Streets!" During this breakout session, I will speak to how ALL CHURCHES can take on a missional mentality that impacts cities in a kingdom fashion. (I'm so nice, we're offering this breakout twice!) You are encouraged to sign-up during your pre-registration time so we know how to plan accordingly.
* Breakout Session: "How we will plant 1,000 in 10." During this breakout session, I will speak to how EVERY church can participate in a planting vision--- with an emphasis on developing missional communities that can reach more people for Christ in a variety of ways. Developing an LCMC family tree will not only be fun, but bring city transformation. Like all breakouts, please sign-up at your pre-registration. (I'm such a dunce, this is only offered once).
* The Coordinator for New Ministry Development presentation to the gathering at large: On Tuesday afternoon, October 7, I will be sharing an update on our vision to become a church planting association. During that time, we will have a variety of planters briefly share what they are doing. PLANTERS: please let me know that you'll be at the gathering so I can publicly lift you up!
* New Church Planter's Workshop, Wednesday, October 8, 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. This 5-hour workshop is a fast-paced, but very helpful, training time to help you discern God's calling to church planting, or to assist in a church planting team in your city. It will be informational and hopefully transformational for you! There is no charge, but you must register. A working lunch will be provided for those who register ahead of time.
