Philly Encourages Urban Ministry Professionals

After a long and sometimes difficult year of ministry, some of us are in need of Rejuvenation, Renewal and Revival. For a small group of Philadelphia urban ministers and ministry executives that "Rejuvenation, Renewal and Revival" comes every month at meetings of THE CLERGY COMMITTEE (TCC). TCC is a safe, supportive, and trusting community where members learn to work smarter, are made more effective, and God is glorified. TCC's monthly meetings provide help and prevention of burn-out through: [1] expert skills development ; [2] peer consultation on personal and ministry-related issues; [3] support, encouragement, and prayer. For information on becoming involved contact David Apple, 215-735-7688 or dapple@citynetphilly.org.
