How To Make Ward Council A Revelatory Experience…Or Any Other Meeting
Meetings in the Church—it’s a love/hate thing. Rarely do people enjoy attending meetings but we still discover ways to plan more meetings.
This may come across as a blunt message, but meetings are either well done or toxic and it’s important that leaders get them right.
