    Workshop Dates:
    June 3, 10, 17, 24
    July 1 & 8
    Time: 2:00-4:00pm
    Where: OLGC Social Hall

    Learn How to Share the Good News of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Each of us has a story to tell of how Jesus broke into our lives and changed everything. We are called to share our story with those who don’t know the love, mercy and peace of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

    In this six-week workshop, you’ll learn how to tell your story in a way that is easy, comfortable and fits your personality and style without sounding too “churchy” or the “in- your-face” type evangelism. This workshop will give you the tools you need to evangelize and you might just learn something about yourself.

    Think of evangelizing as simply sharing your personal journey with Jesus with a friend.

    Registration is free!

    For more information contact Sandi
    Crenshaw at (734) 756-9690.
