SAMPLE WORKSHOPS

People are constantly asking, "we know the needs are great, but how can we help?” The Mississippi Delta has one of the highest levels of unemployment and lowest per capita incomes in the nation. Dr.Lehman and others will offer tangible ways that individuals and congregations can address the needs of the poor who live among us.

A2 "Bridging the Gaps: the church down the street" with Kent Landry

A conversation about the similarities and differences between various denominations; such as Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, Pentecostal, Nondenominational, Presbyterian, etc. Bring your questions for discussion.

A5 Spirituality and Pottery

This will be a hands on opportunity to explore new ideas in the growing field of Arts and Theology, through clay. We will offer several hand building projects which you can use in your church for Lenten workshops, or Vacation Bible School, or just about any time, as well as instruction on the wheel. Ann’s life long zeal is for churches in the Presbytery of St. Andrew to start potteries and arts ministries of their own! Please bring an apron or old t–shirt. Limit: 12 (like the disciples).

A7 Spirituality and Healing in Medicine
