The NEXT step in ministry, Chapter 1

This episode is one of several that I have in mind that are intended to be seeds for upcoming conversations with the church council of the church I currently serve, Christ the King Lutheran Church in Lodi, Ohio, as we begin to think about my potential retirement in a few years.

You can read the transcript of all the episodes in this series as they become available at the Basin and Towel blog here: https://thebasinandtowel.wordpress.com/
