Hey, family!
We're having our Gospel-Centered Discipleship Training this Friday and Saturday, and you still have time to RSVP and take advantage of our new day rate options: Both days ($40), Friday Only ($20), or Saturday Only ($25).
This training is run by Serge (aka World Harvest Mission), which is a discipleship and missionary-sending ministry that has created many helpful resources that we've used in discipleship and leadership development, such as the Gospel-Centered Life, Sonship, and more!
Here are a few tips to help you if you're undecided:
Parents: Can't find a sitter? We want to encourage you to consider either sending one parent to the training or splitting up the sessions between the two of you. Even if you each only do half of the sessions, it will be worth it! If you choose to do this, you're welcome to pay for one registration and put both of your names in the RSVP.
Day Rates: To help anyone with scheduling conflitc, we have created three registration options for you to choose from:
1) Both days ($40)
2) Friday only ($20)
3) Saturday only ($25)
If you have any questions about your registration, please contact Abigail at abigailm.lennox@gmail.com.
Finances: If the cost to register is an issue for you, please email info@restoredsd.com, and we can work with you!

We’ll end the weekend with a Brainstorming Session, as we seek to apply the training in various ministry contexts. Participants will break into small groups, based on their various ministries (or churches), to discuss takeaways and immediate application points from the training. We’ll end with a Discipling Q&A Session.
We hope to see many of you this Friday and Saturday! Much love.
