The Hood Shepherding Workshop · Sat, Dec. 5 · Downtown Hope, Annapolis
Less training.
More doing.
One Saturday for people who never thought of themselves as missionaries. Your address is your assignment.
Who this is for
For the woman in the fourth row.
You heard the sermon. Give, serve, tell. Giving had envelopes. Children's ministry had a sign-up sheet. Telling had nothing behind it.
You know your neighbors' dogs' names and none of their worries.
So you dropped it. You invite the neighbors to church twice a year. Nobody blames you.
You would go if someone handed you the first step. On Dec. 5 we hand you the first step on your own street.
One Saturday, start to finish.

Questions
- Where do I park?
