WORKSHOP I: |

A Practical Application of Reconciliation in a Broken
World - Jack Crabtree
This is the "lab" class of Jack Crabtree's morning talks
on reconciliation. Be prepared to get involved in some group
activities that will demonstrate the challenges we face as
reconcilers in a broken world. It is the goal of this workshop
that every participant will walk out with a clearly defined
plan of reconciliation for either a real personal or cultural
situation in their life. This is the "life-application" approach
to reconciliation---now what do I do?

Sex, Singleness, Dating and Marriage - Claude Hubbard
Perhaps no other topic touches the heart and raises questions
like 'relationships'. It is a topic smothered in church tradition,
cultural expectations, and social misinformation. Inject our own
raging hormones and the result is—angst. But what does the
Bible have to say about sex, dating and marriage? Can a document
that is thousands of years old shed any light in this vital area
of our lives? Come and find out why God's word brings us the
answers we need and the peace we seek.

Discerning God's Call to Ministry - Wendell Wyatt
There are a lot of voices in the world suggesting what you
should be doing with your life. This workshop is intended
specifically for those who believe that God might be calling
them for "full-time" or "part-time" service to the Lord.
We'll wrestle with some questions like:
- How can you tell?
- What are some of the main issues and how can they be resolved?
- What are some of the distractions and pitfalls?
- What steps can be taken to prepare?
We'll explore some of the ways of God to mobilize His people
for a life of service!

Ever been asked to be a small group or bible study leader?
Have you ever thought about it? Do you think that you are the
last person on earth who should be leading a small group? This
seminar is for you. Far from being "super Christians", small
group leaders need only a heart for Christ and a desire to serve
Him and others. We will explore what a small group leader is,
and what he or she does (the answers will surprise you).
Biblical guidance on small group structure and content will be
discussed, as well as techniques for conducting a small group
meeting. Come join us for the fun!

Prayer & Fasting - Madeliene Apuzen
Prayer is God's gift to his children. To communicate with him
is the highest privilege. We may have the petition we ask, for
indeed He answers our prayers. But the most important thing about
prayer is that when we pray and fast (feast on His Word), we can
have an intimate relationship with God and experience the fullness
of joy the world has ever known.
