EMBRACE
June 24, 2022 6:30pm-8:30pm & June 25, 2022 10am-4pm $40 (Scholarships Available) All over the world, people have difficulty sharing their faith. They can share about their love for their children, or their excitement about a new movie or restaurant, but sharing about their faith feels much harder. Yet evangelism, at its core is not a rigid set of techniques to be mastered. Rather, it is simply showing and sharing the love of Jesus.
Satellite Site: Central United Methodist Church – Richmond, IN
The training will be streamed in from Delphi UMC. Participants will be able to communicate with the main site and be in conversation with others at the regional site. Registration includes lunch. Satellite site participants may join the Friday session via Zoom.

What is an Usher?An usher by definition is one who assist a person find a seat in a theater or in church. A Central usher is more than assisting a person to a seat. A Central usher greets every person with kindness, willing to show a person where the restroom is, can find the Upper Room booklet and other duties as required. A Central usher is always serving the Lord as they do their duties. Being a Central usher represents how Central relates to the congregation and visitors. Being a Central usher is easily done. A person can contact Electa Berk by leaving a message at the church office or contacting Pastor Joseph about becoming a Central usher.
