at the Presbytery of San Francisco's new Education Center

- 545 Ashbury, El Cerrito CA -

(across from El Cerrito High School)

This 10 hour workshop will bring people together who are interested in building

cooperative communities. We are seeking to share the resources of our

many faith communities to change the lives of those in need.

(ie the poor, the outcast, the sojourner, the oppressed, the captive, the widow, the child.)

Open to all & a special welcome to those working and living in communities of need!

Friday night: 7:00 – 10:00 pm

We will examine the Biblical models for cooperative ministries

Saturday: 8:30 am – 3:30 pm

We will begin the process of finding places where God is working with us

to bring our strengths and skills together to serve the needs of our people

In the weeks after the workshop there will be follow-up gatherings to continue to work out the details of our new cooperative ministry dreams

The workshop will be led by Andrew McLeod and members of the Education Center Working Group
