{"product_id":"scattering-seeds-stephen-chapin-garner-9781566994224","title":"Scattering Seeds: Cultivating Church Vitality","description":"In Scattering Seeds: Cultivating Church Vitality, Stephen Chapin Garner and Jerry Thornell share the story of their home congregation, the United Church of Christ in Norwell, MA. This average congregation has approached congregational life in a not-so-average way. Each congregant is seen as a minister, bringing the good news of Christ to the community; the church has moved away from boards and committees, instead utilizing the people to form ministry teams; and they have revitalized the way they approach and practice worship and education. Garner and Thornell don't claim to have the secret to church growth and vitality, but in sharing the story of their simple church in New England, they give hope and innovative ideas to congregations in regions all over the country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Chapin Garner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1566994225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781566994224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Stephen Chapin Garner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46739045908735,"sku":"9781566994224","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3db51dad-9dcd-44bc-b8e2-f4664826c20f.jpg?v=1743277043","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scattering-seeds-stephen-chapin-garner-9781566994224","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
