What does it mean to us, as women, to be the hands and feet of Christ in the world? Join us as we study what it means to answer God’s commands to serve, focusing on Isaiah 6 and Matthew 9.

We will cover our policies and procedures, how to apply, and who is eligible to apply. Bring your questions.
A8 Reclaiming That Absent Generation of Young Adults in Your Church— Rev. Don Girdwood, ABCOPAD Area Minister
The exodus from the church by younger adults is a long time concern, and certainly not a passing trend the church can afford to ignore. Participants will consider twenty and thirty-somethings who are outside the reach of today’s church, the factors that created this gulf, and the bridges that may be built. This workshop will explore examples of the churches that are connecting with emerging generations without compromising the truth.
A9 Worship Leading in the Traditional Church— Rev. Richard McIntyre, ABCOPAD Area Minister
When we think of the term “worship leader,” we usually think of the lead singer in a praise band in a contemporary or emerging church. But traditional churches need worship leaders, too … and that role shouldn’t fall on the pastor. This workshop will prepare you to lead worship in your church by: discussing a simple theology of laity involvement in worship; equipping you with an understanding of the four-fold flow of worship; providing basic guidelines for preparing and leading the individual acts of traditional worship, such as the call to worship and invocation; and proving that announcements are the work of Satan (I’m only half joking about that).
A10 White Cross Bandage Rolling
The bandage rolling work room will be open throughout the weekend, but if you prefer to work with a larger group or have never rolled bandages before and need to learn the basics, sign up for the bandage rolling workshop room during one of the three workshop sessions and be a part of this important ministry!
