While over the years, we've heard many different folks talk about partnerships in this way, we'd like to reference two in particular: --Here's a link to a video from Michael Rhodes at the Chalmers Center that we reference in the podcast explaining  a potluck approach to mission. We encourage you to check out all of the excellent resources at the Chalmers Center.  --The January 31, 2022 issue of The Presbyterian Outlook "Rethinking Mission" is another resource we encourage you to read. Our Education Team read several articles from that edition in preparation for a recent retreat. In the podcast, we mention a point Ellen Sherby (coordinator of Equipping Mission Involvement for the Presbyterian Church (USA)) makes in her article Making mission matter: Four steps to strengthen your mission committee found in that issue: "When only one community involved in the work participates and leads, mission falls flat and becomes like a fast-food drive-through."Thanks for listening--please share this podcast with your family, church, and friends: https://www.buzzsprout.com/806414/10288216
