LCM Stewardship Presents - 

Spring fills each of us the eagerness for renewal and growth. Our Lutheran Church of Mahomet is no
different! We are excited to be hosting “Revitalizing Your Congregation” and want to invite LCM
members to participate in some or all of the four sessions, as your interests and time allow! The
conference begins Thursday, April 11 at 1:00 pm and ends Saturday, April 13 at noon. 
This event is FREE. Some refreshments will be provided.  Meals will be on your own.

The “live” conference, presented by Healthier Church, will be held at Edison Park Lutheran Church in
Chicago and broadcast via webinar. LCM has signed up to host a site for the webinar! We have invited
Christ Lutheran in Monticello to join us, and also have welcomed participation of other churches in our
synod.

Or you can email Cindy Erickson at erickson.cindy@gmail.com

The topics and presenters for the four sessions are listed below. In addition to presentations, the
sessions will include “micro presentations” and time for small group discussions.
