What might the new normal look like?
Pivot (/ˈpɪvət/) - noun
‘a central point on which a mechanism turns or oscillates’
All church leaders and churches had to pivot overnight around March 22nd this year. But this is unlikely to be the last time we need to or should pivot. While remaining true to our centre point in Jesus Christ, how is God inviting us to keep on pivoting in the years ahead? What might the “new normal” look like for church leaders and churches?
Facilitated by men and women in ministry from (almost!) all around Australia.
