Mark your calendars for August 6 at St. Lorenz—it’s Directors Day, and you won’t want to miss it! This is a day designed just for you, the leaders of our early childhood programs, to pause, reflect, and be refreshed in the important work God has called you to. Come ready for encouragement, connection, and a few moments that will fill your cup (because we all know how quickly it pours out in this role!). And yes … we’ll take care of some of that “licensing stuff” too—because what’s a director gathering without a little paperwork mixed with purpose? Join us for a meaningful day that supports both your ministry and your mission.
