The NALC is committed to the renewal of all our congregations, working to develop and deliver resources that challenge and open the NALC to the work of the Holy Spirit in our ministry and mission. \u00a0During Lutheran Week in Denver, the Mission Festival is designed to inspire and serve as a resource to congregations. This includes specific “break out” sessions on a variety of topics. \u00a0One of the most requested topics by NALC Leaders is “Culture Shock.”<\/span><\/p>\n

As Pastor Trina Petersen is frequently asked to speak on this particular challenge, she has encountered a large number of leaders that discuss their struggles sharing: \u201cPeople don\u2019t just come to church anymore, and I don\u2019t know what to do.\u201d We hear that Sunday mornings are no longer a \u201csacred\u201d time, as so many teams or music competitions schedule mandatory time for students. \u00a0We also hear leaders ask: \u201cHow do I get people to show up or to think that faith is important?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

“Your mission, should you choose\/decide to accept it…..\u201d You have chosen to accept the Great Commission. Now, you need to know how to fulfill it. This is a key component to combatting “culture shock.” \u00a0Do you have a clear vision? Do you know where you\u2019re going? Do you have a mission? Do you know how you get there? Sharpening your vision and defining your mission requires strategic planning and preparation. Your plan may be good, but God\u2019s plan is better. \u00a0A God plan is a \u201cnow\u201d plan that requires \u201cnow\u201d faith! Need help finding your way? Looking for hands-on tools to help prepare your team? If you are ready to embark on a fabulous adventure in trusting Him, this is the place for you!<\/span><\/p>\n
