Based on the Year B readings for the five Sundays in Lent, “Groundwork II” invites congregations to reflect on how they invite people into their midst and into the Episcopal Church.
Each chapter sets the theme of the Sunday's readings and then offers reflections from various voices. Activities based in three tracks round out each chapter. The tracks can either be used continuously or mixed and matched as is appropriate to each congregation and its context.
- Track I: Welcome and Incorporation, offers processes for engaging the mission of evangelism. This is primarily material from the 2005 "Groundwork" slightly re-cast so it may be used by congregations that were not able to use last year's resources.
- Track 2: Congregational Advertising, provides materials for the design and implementation of a congregational advertising strategy.
- Track 3: Covenant and Commitment, takes a new approach to congregational mission and vitality focusing on the covenants and commitments that people of faith fulfill for effectiveness and faithfulness.
