This is a workshop for Christian leaders who are interested in using their storytelling skills in ministry settings beyond the pulpit where stories can have power and value – such as in teaching, pastoral care, evangelism, and administration. Seasoned pastor and storyteller, Pastor Elizabeth Perry of New York leads this workshop. Offered at www.BeADisciple.com.
Some churches find unconventional ways of reaching and welcoming those in their community. These events tend to attract people using creative themes, publicity, or free items. Living Water Community Church in Ypsilanti, Michigan, uses a day revolving around motorocycles to minister to a group in their church and also welcome in those in their community that they may otherwise never meet.
The September 2008 Alban Institute at Lake Junaluska event theme is Moving from Maintenance to Mission.
