Community Conversations: everyone's gifts matter
Join Us For conversation with author and consultant, Peter Block, on March 12th, 2012 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Resurrection Life Church to kick off a series of Community Conversations in Ottawa and Muskegon counties.
Known for his work in The Abundant Community and Community: The Structure of Belonging, “Block helps us see how we can change the existing context of community from one of deficiencies, interests, and entitlement to one of possibility, generosity, and gifts.”
We welcome and affirm people of all ages, races, shapes, sizes, nationalities, economic levels, sexualities and abilities. This workshop will inspire authentic conversation, bring to light the gifts in every individual, and challenge us to create new community possibilities.
