Is There Life After Roe?
Many believed that when Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, the fight to end abortion had been won, but sadly, the battle has moved from the national stage to every state’s legislature. Abortion is still widespread in the United States and statistically has only fallen about 25% overall.This workshop is designed to answer the question, ‘What’s next in life-affirming ministry?”
The Rev. Georgette Forney, Deacon, is President of Anglicans for Life, the only global Anglican ministry dedicated to helping the Church address issues at the beginning and end of life, including abortion, abstinence, adoption, euthanasia, and embryonic stem cell research. She is also the co-founder of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, an effort to raise awareness about the physical, spiritual and emotional harm abortion does to women and to let those who are hurting from abortion know help is available.
The Essence of Evangelism
The Essence of Evangelism: Understanding the Gospel and Faithfully Sharing It with Others
In this presentation, we will focus on practical steps to share the Gospel, working together in small groups. We will address the fundamental questions: “What is the Gospel?” and “How can you know when you've effectively presented the Gospel to a friend?” We’ll discuss how to briefly share your testimony along with a practical guide for preparing it. Our time together will conclude with prayerful ways to be intentional about sharing the Gospel with those God has brought to heart and mind.

Extending God's Hospitality to "Internationals" in Our Neighborhood
