Fresh Expressions

Hello Friends,

We are inviting you to re-engage with all things Fresh Expressions this fall. Last year, Rev. Michael Beck helped us lay a solid foundation for Fresh Expressions in our area. Now it is time to take the seeds that have been planted and nurture them. Our focus will shift from learning the foundations of Fresh Expressions to practicing. 

How can you get engaged?

1. Join our Facebook group (or re-engage). Watch for weekly content and short videos to guide you on the Fresh Expressions Journey and learn what other local congregations are trying.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/768898488173804

2. Participate in 3rd Thursdays! We will gather via zoom to share what’s working, what’s challenging, and what we are dreaming about. We will learn from each other and each month will have a specific focus.  These calls are open to all who are interested. 3rd Thursday take place from 6:30-7:30 p.m. CT. Use this zoom link https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86703507404 to join us.

3. Watch for website updates with added resources, stories, and inspiration.

If you are already doing a Fresh Expression or are well on your way on the Loving first journey, we would love to hear from you. Please reach out to Dan Bader in the Dakotas at Dan.Bader@Dakotasumc.org  and Erica Koser in Minnesota at Erica.Koser@Minnesotaumc.org  to share! We would love to hear your story and learn how we can best support you.

We are excited to take this next step of the journey together!
