Session B Workshops
Saturday, June 19 1:15—2:45 P.M.
In AD 100, historians report that there were 25,000 Christians; by AD 310, there were 20 million! How did such explosive growth happen without buildings, written scripture, or programs the modern church offers? Discovering the answer to that question could radically change your life—but if will equip you to be a part of what God is doing in our time.
B5 Enhancing Worship with Music—Babette Perednia
A hands-on look at how music ministry can add to the message of God's love in your services. Bring a favorite song and see how it can become a drama, a skit, or part of a medley. We will also look briefly into the history of music in the Bible and go over some worship and music terminology. Are you a Levite? Come join us and find out!
B6 Parish Nursing / Health Ministry—Jean Smith
Is there a role for a nurse in your congregation? Would your members benefit from a health ministry? Are you interested in the concept of wholistic health? If so, you’ll want to come to this workshop and learn about the potential of a health ministry at your church. If your congregation has an existing health ministry, come and share ideas and resources with others who might consider developing this ministry of showing God’s love and compassion. (You do not have to be a nurse to be part of a health ministry.)
B7 Cents and Sensibility—Penni Scott
Trusting God to meet all of your needs is easy when they are all being met. But how do you fill in the gap when the ends no longer meet? Come learn about budgeting for God’s blessings through good stewardship in an age of financial instability.
