A Night with Mark Elsdon
December 10, 7:00 p.m.
Firestone Park Presbyterian Church
Title: Imagining Good FuturesSummary: Join us in for a keynote with Rev. Mark Elsdon as he invites us to reimagine the future of the church. In a time of shrinking budgets, declining attendance, and rising community needs, Mark offers a bold vision: our churches are not broke but rich with assets, people, and possibility. Through real-life stories of innovation, he will inspire us to see our buildings and land as engines for mission, justice, and new life. This talk will encourage leaders to imagine good futures—and help us take faithful steps forward.

The Resource Committee is hosting a special one-day workshop on Saturday, February 7 at United Presbyterian Church in Cuyahoga Falls. Led by Rebecca McCurdy, who brings 30 years of experience from Ohio’s Hospice LifeCare in Wooster, the event will draw from her work recruiting, training, assigning, and supporting volunteers who provide direct care to patients and their families in life’s final season. Open to church leaders—pastors, CREs, Ruling Elders, Deacons—and anyone interested in learning more about this heartfelt ministry so needed in our congregations.
