Join us for an afternoon of inspiration at the Goshen Brewing Co. for a Business Tour and Tasting, presented by The Michiana MEDA Network Hub.  We’ll hear from Jesse Sensenig, founder and owner, about their start-up journey and the integration of values of faith, business and community development.  As part of the event, delve into the impactful initiatives of MEDA and our worldwide efforts to create business solutions to poverty.  Register at www.meda.org/events.

The Center for Congregations has 7 different options for workshops coming up this fall that will be available online (one will have passed by the time this comes out, sorry).
