Bring everyone from your congregation to attend different workshops. Then get together and learn from each other!

Sponsored by the Northern Illinois Synod Congregational Life Committee, the Congregational Resourcing Event (CRE) is one of this synod’s finest yearly events. Church council members, teachers, musicians, staff, volunteers, and leaders – just about everyone in a congregation – can take advantage of this learning event to strengthen skills, gather resources, network with others, and discover new ways to enhance congregational and individual ministries. Come, experience and bring home new ministry tools.
The Congregational Resourcing Event offers many varied educational workshop selections for you, your key congregational leaders, and other interested congregation members.
Many groups, agencies, and institutions have displays.
Supervised childcare is provided with pre-registration, but parents will need to bring a sack lunch and snacks for their children. A free-will offering will be accepted to cover child-care costs.
