Town Hall Meeting
January 30, 2020 |
A Town Hall Meeting will take place on Thursday, January 30, 2020 from 6 – 8 p.m. at the First Baptist Church, 1041 Liberty Street in Franklin, PA.
The Meeting is a workshop to connect faith and civic leaders to:
1) brainstorm ideas and create opportunities to partner on space-sharing concepts between churches and various organizations;
2) provide an opportunity to network with regional faith, non-profit, educational, and civic groups; and
3) establish a sustainable plan to continue working towards creative partnerships between faith and community organizations.
In the Oil Region, we have numerous large historic churches that are looking for
ways to adapt to smaller memberships and funding sources while continuing to
play integral roles in their communities. As this issue extends beyond the Oil
Region, anyone is welcome to attend to learn more or to share their experiences.
The Town Hall Meeting will be presented by Partners for Sacred Places (Partners),
of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with support from the Oil Region Alliance and
Bridge Builders Community Foundations. Partners, founded in 1989, is the only
national, non-sectarian, non-profit organization focused on building the capacity of congregations of historic sacred places to better serve their communities as anchor institutions, nurturing transformation, and shaping vibrant, creative communities.
