This developmental ministry is not about a single minister. Rather, it is about our entire congregation. We hope that you will join us as we “launch” our collective developmental ministry. Here are our hopes for this launch week:
- We will grow in our collective understanding of All Souls as a congregation and of the developmental work.
- We will come to listen to one another and to share our thoughts, insights, loves, concerns, and questions. Since listening is the purpose, there will be much dialogue and no formal presentations.
- You will become acquainted with Rev. Anastassia, her personality and professional capabilities, and her thoughts on our developmental ministry.
- We will have fun! All Souls is a community, even more than it is an institution.
We Want to Hear From You
As we go into and through launch week, we are excited to hear your takeaways. Use the button below to share your thoughts, memories, and stories, or send us an email or catch us at church for a conversation. We want to capture your stories as part of the All Souls collective journey.
Our developmental minister, the Rev. Anastassia Zinke, began with us on July 1. It has been wonderful getting to know her, and we hope you will continue to welcome her as we move into the Fall. She will continue to meet with congregants one-on-one.
