101 Season in the Wilderness: Exodus and the 21st Century Church -- Sometimes it feels like as congregations and a people we are in the wilderness. Our culture has changed, and what worked in the “good old days” is not as effective today. We wonder if God is with us, and what God’s plan is for us. Join the Rev. Wendy Pratt to look at what the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy have to say to us about this wilderness time and our Promised Land. Resources will include the 2013-2014 Horizons Bible Study, An Abiding Hope: The Presence of God in Exodus and Deuteronomy.
102 Season of Growth: Inspiring youth in mission Join PCUSA mission representative and author Bobbi Updegraff for ideas for exciting young people about Christian service, focusing on the mission of the Presbyterian Church USA. The workshop offers practical tips and activities for engaging children and youth in mission discovery learning. Participants receive a resource list and kid tested ideas for prompting mission in the local church. Bobbie will also provide practical tips and activities for leading a memorable service trip – international or domestic.
103 Season of Song: Hymns and the church – Before social media, before mass media, even before the printing press, how did people promote their fervently held views? Before Sunday school, before youth programs, even before most people learned to read, how did churches educate their members? Through the centuries we’ve shaped our theology, enriched our understanding, and strengthened our sense of belonging through our use of music in the church. Join the Rev. Alice McDowell and enjoy a different slant on the history of the church. No auditions necessary.
104 Seasons of Grace
Grace is the greatest blessing of Christian faith, holding us in God’s love throughout our lives. Carla Mavis will lead an exploration of grace, what it is, how we recognize it and the impact it has through the stages of life.
