for Alternative/Emerging Worship
Telling the Story/Crafting the Connections April 12-13
(day one and two of PSfA/EW)
You may register any of these workshops individually, or participate in all of them as part of
“Practicing Skills for Alternative/Emerging Worship”
Since ancient times, storytelling has been the link between holy words and the life of faith, between members of different generations, and between peoples of differing cultures, histories, and faiths. Stories are foundational to community identity and formation; almost half of our Christian scriptures are comprised in story genre. In this workshop pastors, educators, and church leaders will develop skills in the art of storytelling. Upon registering, participants will be given a short list of things to bring with them. First day: 10am-9pm. Second day: 9am- 4:30pm. $225 includes two lunches, dinner, and second day breakfast.
