An emphasis on local and global mission is one important attribute that makes Elmbrook Church unique. Each year, the entire Elmbrook family is invited to a morning of training that will inform and equip both those currently volunteering in a mission-related role and those who want to grow in the area of mission. On Saturday, September 20, meet at 8:45am in the Commons for coffee and pastries, then begin the morning exploring the idea of 'welcoming the stranger,' and how we respond to those different than us in our surrounding workplaces, schools, and communities. This main session will be held from 9 to 10am, and breakout sessions will follow from 10:15am to noon. Breakout topics will include immigration updates, trauma care training, and trends in international mission. All are welcome!
