George Mercer Jr. School of Theology

Invite. Welcome. Connect - for Congregations

RSVP today for our upcoming event!

Canon for Ministry Support Claire Woodley encourages you and other clergy and parish leaders to join in a successful churchwide initiative that started in the D...iocese of Texas and now is a ministry of the School of Theology at Sewanee called, Invite-Welcome-Connect. In our diocese, IWC is part of a long range strategic plan to help congregations grow in their experience of God and extending that experience to others. The diocese will be hosting Mary Parmer, creator of IWC, starting April 3 at the Mercer School, to introduce and offer IWC training sessions. > Click here for a comprehensive overview of Invite-Welcome-Connect: http://www.invitewelcomeconnect.com/menu-1-3 > Click here for an Invite-Welcome-Connect brochure in pdf format: https://www.dioceseli.org//7515/5242/1596/invitewc-brochur > Click here for complete I-W-C registration information and/or to register for training: http://www.mercerschool.org/featured_eventsDetail.php Canon Woodley said I-W-C will consider all aspects of parish life, including children. "Have you lost touch with the children and parents of your school, afterschool or pre-k program? Many of us are seeking how to build up family ministry and the schools and programs on our properties are filled with people and the joys and concerns they carry. Build a team of clergy, school contacts and/or administrators and learn how to re-establish connection and extend loving kindness and support to these families on May 5th, a special Day for Schools, during our Invite-Welcome-Connect Conference."
