The Episcopal
Church Office for Congregational Vitality has released a new small
church growth strategies handbook, "Hope and Action: Abundant Small
Congregations." The handbook features the stories of creative and
generative ministries being carried out by small congregations across
the country and a wealth of resources. Included is the Western Bayside
Churches United project of our very own Good Samaritan, Virginia Beach
(page 54). You can download a copy at www.episcopalchurch.org/vitality. Click on "Hope and Action" located under the Useful Links header.
