PRINTABLE BROCHURES

PLEASE NOTE:  After much prayerful consideration, we recently made the decision to conduct all our events online for the foreseeable future.  We are committed to making the necessary adaptations so that we may continue the “sacred ministry of reconciliation” that God has entrusted us with. Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.  2 Corinthians 4:1

Below is an alphabetical listing of the events we have currently scheduled.  You will notice that there are multiple identical sessions available for each event (except Advanced Clergy Clinic). Friends of LMPC will recognize titles of events that we’ve taught with great success for many years; other unfamiliar titles are brand new and especially relevant to these stressful and  unpredictable days of social distancing. For a downloadable document with titles, dates, and brief descriptions of all the events below, please click on this LMPC Events Calendar.  PLEASE NOTE:  Some events may still be awaiting approval from Brown Paper Tickets and thus are not yet open for registration.  If you do not see an event listed after clicking the link to Brown Paper Tickets, please check back in a day or two.  Thank you so much for your patience!s2659,
