Good Samaritan United Methodist Church
5730 Grove Street, Edina, MN  55436

The Metro West Builders celebration will feature Rev. Dan Johnson, Director of Congregational Development, and the leaders from some of the newest congregations in the Minnesota Annual Conference.  In a recent article, Dan wrote, "Do you remember when tweet was a bird's song, and text was ink on a page, facebook was your family photo album and GPS was a Good Passenger in the adjacent Seat"?  As a conference, we are constantly trying new ways of reaching new people for Jesus Christ, not only through traditional congregations, with a building and signs on the corner, but through churches like STORM Faith Community that is organizing people to build churches in their own homes.  We are reaching out to diverse populations in Minnesota to offer culturally relevant ministry to specific demographic groups, such as Korean Evangelical in Hopkins.  We are experimenting with new ways for church to be multicultural, through new ministries like MOSAIC in Brooklyn Park.  Come and hear a panel of leaders from these and other new church starts as we explore new ways to experiment boldly to reach persons for Jesus Christ.

The celebration will begin with a gathering time at 3:30, followed by the program at 4:00 and the dinner at 5:00.  The $12 cost of the buffet dinner can be paid at the door.  To make reservations, please fill in and submit the form below, phone 651-615-6102, or send an email to:  pathinker@metrowestbuilders.org.  Please include the names of those coming, your e-mail, phone number, and the name of your home church.
