Light of Christ Ministry Lab

Wednesdays, Olsen Home

This summer we’ll focus on equipping our members to be on mission in Kenosha, Southeastern Wisconsin or where ever you live and work. The Light of Christ Ministry Lab is a regular time of teaching, prayer or discussion on ministry and mission. There are two purposes to this ministry lab: The first is to unite spirit, mind and body, teaching our hands to follow where our hearts and heads have been led. The second is to frame our entire lives as mission. The ministry lab will meet every other Wednesday from June 24 to September 2.

Prayer Lab

Our ministry lab times will focus on teaching and next steps, so in addition we will meet every other Wednesday for a time of prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to do that work of uniting our spirits with what our minds have learned and the actions we are taking. Our prayer evenings will run every other week from July 1 through August 26.
