You are warmly invited to attend the first LEADERSHIP CONVERSATIONS event

Equipping Church Members for Daily Life and Work

with Dr William Messenger

Church leaders struggle to help church members bridge the gap between church and work and integrate faith into everyday life. We invite you to join other leaders to explore this challenging topic together. We hope to foster a dialogue led by Will that will increase our understanding of what faith in the work place looks like and stimulate some great ideas.

The afternoon will begin with a 20-30 minute address by Will followed by an interactive discussion. We invite you to submit your questions prior to the event via email to cpartridge/laidlaw.ac.nz. Alternatively there will be a receptacle available on the day for written questions. Leadership Conversations is the first of a series of events Engage will be hosting in 2012.

Date: Wednesday 15 February 2012
Time: 1.30 - 3.30 pm
Place: Laidlaw College Auckland Campus, 80 Central Park Drive, Henderson
