REGIONAL NEWS
3 Churches Videocast
As coronavirus restrictions continue to be lifted, we are continuing to have conversations every other week discussing how 3 churches of 3 different sizes in 3 different settings are dealing with the pandemic. Tune in to our North Central C&MA YouTube channel on Wednesdays at 9:00 AM. We would love for you to watch and comment about how you are dealing with these topics as a church. We know that God is up to something good in this time and that we are better together. Let’s learn from one another and spur each other on! We will be sending these videos out via email as well as posting them on our Facebook page.
