Breakout Sessions for Lay Leaders
Worship Leading and Care Ministry for Lay Leaders
Seeing various faces leading in worship makes everyone feel welcome and included, but not everyone feels comfortable speaking in public. Reading scripture or praying in a worship service is something we can all do. Join Rev. Robin Bolen Anderson, a pastor who also has a BFA in theater performance, for a workshop on leading in worship, including how to write and deliver prayers. We’ll also end with the worshipful act of staying connected with fellow worshipers throughout the year, not just when we meet in a service. This session is a must attend for deacons, worship committee members, and anyone interested in improving upon or even overcoming fears around leading in worship.
Jesus as Teacher
In this session, we will explore Jesus' role and practice as a master teacher and explore ways we can learn from His example. We will discuss methods and practices that can be used in various learning settings with learners of all ages. Led by Dr. Sarah Boberg, who is the Program Coordinator of Boundary Spanning Theological Education at Campbell University Divinity School.
