The Post-Covid Re-entry Group (PRG) continues to find ways to assist local churches in their efforts to relaunch.
Connecting with local churches through webinar format is most effective. PRG hosted a monthly Wednesday afternoon webinar series, which was recorded and posted for future viewing for church leaders who were not able to attend afternoon sessions.
