2020 Vision for Vital Vintage Churches 

Saturday, August 15, 9:00 am, Zoom

Presenter: Rev. Dr. Michael Piazza

On Saturday, August 15, at 9:00 am, meet Rev. Dr. Michael Piazza and learn about how to execute practical changes in the area of stewardship and to focus your church on a clear vision for vital "vintage churches," his phrase for mainline / "traditional" churches, meaning churches with "tradition, liturgy, vestments, hymns, ritual, sacraments … redbrick building with a white steeple … old pipe organ," and the like.

The presentation and consultation is open only to UM churches in the Northern Illinois Conference.

Each participating church on August 15 will receive one copy of his following books:

• Fishing in a Shallow Sea: Church Strategies for the 21st Century
• Vital Vintage Church: How Traditional Congregations Thrive

Churches will then be invited to join Rev. Piazza for four 60-90 minute sessions in 2020. Visit the website for more information:
