Cascadia Connections September-October 2012
Cascadia_Connection_Sept_-_Oct_2012_BFEK22XN.pdfWowzer! This issue of the Cascadia Connection is packed full of wonderful thoughts, opportunities and connections within our district, our Annual Conference, and the world. It is 22 pages long (yikes!), but all of it is good stuff which will be of interest to someone, although not all of it will be of interest to everyone. So, I have attempted to organize it to make it easy for you to find what is important to you.
Use the Table of Contents on the first page to find your way around, and on page 10 there is a special index to all the Events and Trainings, because there wasn't room in the Table of Contents to distinguish them all!
- If you are interested in Mission, see pages 7-9, as well as the prayer calendar and the trainings on page 14.
- If you are interested in Worship, see pages 17-19 and the prayer calendar.
- If you are interested in small group studies, see pages 18-19.
- If you are interested in Peace and Social Justice issues, see pages 11-13.
- If you are interested in Stewardship and Connectional giving, see page 20.
