Healthy Congregations: Practical Tools for Congregational Vitality

Parishioners Kim Powell,  Angelina Stelmach Blundell, and Paul-Rostande Stinfil, pictured here with Bishop Mark Edington, recently attended The Academy for Parish Leadership’s training session “Healthy Congregations: Practical Tools for Congregational Vitality" from May 24th-26th in Munich. This inspiring event, using resources from the College for Congregational Development, focused on nurturing congregations of all sizes, locations, and conditions into more faithful, healthy, and effective communities of faith.

Participants from Amsterdam, Augsburg, Munich, Paris, Rome, and Wiesbaden gathered for this enriching experience. In addition to the insightful workshops, attendees enjoyed heartfelt fellowship, prayer, and Sunday worship with the Church of the Ascension in Munich. The time together provided a meaningful opportunity to deepen connections within our Convocation family.
