Endorsement  "As we read in scripture and experience in creation around us; there are seasons of life and death in all things. This is true in the church as well. The Living Legacy resource is a trusted guide for the faithful journey of ending a season and closing a church. Connecting larger social changes to the realities of local congregations, this resource is packed with insight, encouragement, and practical support for churches that are closing and want to leave a beautiful, lasting legacy into the future."
