Saturday February 11 TAP is hosting a Listening Campaign Training 9:00am - 3:00pm at St Paul Bethel Missionary Baptist Church, 621 Lindsey Avenue, South Bend IN 46629.  This training is intended to benefit the individual churches in conducting their own listening campaigns.  I talked to Pastor Wendy about it....  She thinks it's a good idea and plans on attending.  Everyone is welcome to come.

The next TAP Delegates Assembly is Tuesday February 21 7:00pm - 9:00pm at Zion.  Once again all are welcome to attend.
