Boldly Lutheran Conversations (All)

It's easy to talk about the weather, sports, etc. But Jesus? How do you turn the conversation to spiritual matters when speaking with parents of students who aren't part of your congregation? In this workshop we will prepare ourselves for approaching people and broaching the subject of Jesus. We will discuss ideas for getting a conversation started with an unchurched person and turning it into a boldly Lutheran conversation about Jesus.
