ARE YOU LOST IN THE FOG? ~ This class is for Teaching and Ruling Elders, and the Deacons of our Presbytery to bring them up to speed on the new changes in the Form of Government that was approved in 2011. Do you know the major differences between the old FOG and the new FOG? This is a great opportunity to familiarize yourself with these changes and to ask questions. The facilitator for this class will be the Rev. Charlie Winkelman. New Handbooks for Ruling Elders and Deacons will be given out in this class.
THE CHURCH UNLEASHED: How to harness the power of media to share the Gospel with the Un-churched througout the Susquehanna Valley. This two-session workshop provides practical approachesfor utilizing the miracle of modern media to 1) faithfully respond to The Great Commission (ACts 1:8), 2) strengthen your church's spiritual life, and 3) affordably reach your neighbors with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The facilitator for this workshop is Rick Gatham. Rick is a native from Williamsport and a graduate of Penn State University, he is founder and Chairman of USAgency, America's Advertising Agency Network, and a Ruling Elder on the session of Lewisburg First Presbyterian Church.
"INTERWOVEN: PRAYER - EXPANDING OUR HEARTS IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD": "We might describe prayer simply as spending time with God. It could be compared with time spent with a human friend, in order to nurture our relationship...to grow closer...to know each other ever more deeply and intimately." (Jean Gill) Participants in this workshop will have the opportunity to learn about and practice several prayer forms that seek to nurture and deepen our relationship with God. This workshop is being facilitated by the Rev. Dr. Christine Woods-Henderson.
