Saturday, November 7th - 9:00 am to 11:00 am

Jefferson United Methodist Church
Our Bishop John L. Hopkins has designed a plan to help the churches in the East Ohio Conference to grow in our ministry. A part of that plan is for each church to participate in a Compass Group with churches who have a similar size in Sunday worship attendance. Our compass group in the Western Reserve District includes these other churches, Middlefield, Mayfield, Painesville, Willoughby, Willoughby Hills, Jefferson, and New Leaf (the new merged church in Conneaut.)

In previous years this compass group was just a clergy discussion, but this year lay people and church staff people are invite to join the discussion. Our compass group has also been divided to help enhance discussion and our cluster will meet on Saturday, November 7th at Jefferson UMC at 9:00 am to 11:00 am.  Discussion for this event will be on Bishop Schnase’s book “Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations”, specifically chapter 1 on “Radical Hospitality”.  Stay tuned for more information and ideas from our Compass group.
