Over the new few months, you will have the opportunity to take advantage of some very special equipping opportunities. These opportunities will not be available again any time soon. So jump on board and do not miss them!
To start, you will want to be sure to sign up for pre-conference workshops. We refer to these learning opportunities as Navigate Expeditions. There will be three different times to choose your equipping opportunity. The first two times will be a series of workshops offered Wednesday afternoon, May 29. The third opportunity will be a choice of two key notes on Thursday morning before the official kickoff of Annual Conference on May 30.
Over these three learning opportunities, you will have access to key national speakers such as Rev. Sue Nilson-Kibbey, Rev. Dr. Ken Nash, Ken Willard, Rev. Phil Schroeder, Jason Moore, Rosario Picardo, and more. You can explore topics such as small church vitality, children and youth ministries, simplified, accountable structure, leadership development, worship, stewardship, missions, and prayer. Bring your team and take care of these excellent equipping opportunities.
Mark your calendars now for Navigate, August 22-24, 2019. This is our second annual event but expanded! We have expanded the days, the topics, the experience, the speaker selection, and who is invited. It is a national event! You are welcome to attend for all three days or just Saturday, August 24. It will be held at the Radisson at Camp Hill. Our theme this year is leadership. Once again you will have access to national speakers such as Olu Brown, Kenda Creasy Dean, Val Hastings, Kelly Brown, Dereck Deblase, Chuck Salter, Paul Nixon, and Blake Bradford. There will be tracks for revitalization, small church, the lay pastor, new places for new people, young leaders, and conference leaders. Check out www.susumc.org/navigate/ for more information and registration.
We have a value of providing excellent speakers and workshop leaders to bring you the best of the best to help equip you in your local church mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Your continued interest and attendance help us bring these exciting opportunities to you. So, gather your team and register today to add more tools in your tinder box to create new places for new people and spark vitality in your church.
We must all continue to an evolving, ever-learning leader in today’s church to continue to prepare and equip for the church of tomorrow. In the Susquehanna Conference, we strive for a culture of continuous learning and growing for both clergy and laity. These next few months are packed full of opportunities. Take full advantage!
