Presenter: Beth Scriven, St. Louis, MO Is there an institution of higher learning in your church's backyard, neighborhood, or town? Have you peeked out the church window at the students walking down the street and thought to yourself "someone should probably do some campus ministry kind of thing"? Wondering where and how to start? Wonder no more! In this workshop, Beth Scriven, Provincial Coordinator for Young Adult and Campus Ministries and chaplain at two universities in St. Louis will share what's worked for others and help you figure out what might work for you. Participants will identify what's unique about their own context and what they have to offer college students, and discover how they might take the first steps toward a thriving parish-based campus ministry of their own.

Presenter: Meredith Hunt, Grace, Traverse City, MI Workshop Description We live in a world where we are surrounded by suffering and by the powers of death. This workshop will explore the role of healing prayer in the church as a ministry of the Body of Christ, in the context of our call as baptized Christians to stand up to those powers. Included will be both theological reflection on the Christian history and understanding of healing as well as practical considerations and experience. Presenter: Steven Peay, All Saints' Cathedral, Milwaukee, WI Steven Peay is Associate Dean/Canon Residentiary at All Saints Cathedral and Research Professor of Homiletics and Church History/Dean-President Emeritus at Nashotah House Theological Seminary. He spent 18 years as a Benedictine monk and has discovered the value of lectio divina in the preaching process. Workshop Description “Eat this book” is a phrase that shows up several times in the Bible. Monastic writers saw this as an invitation to truly ingest and incorporate the Word. Mariano Magrassi writes, “The divine energy received in the sacrament becomes rooted in our soul. The demands of the Word are the same, since it forms a single table with the Eucharist. It is not enough to eat; we must assimilate, or as the ancients would say, ‘ruminate.’” Thus lectio sacra is the natural complement of ecclesial proclamation.” This ruminant practice can be a vital part of sermon preparation – feeding both the preacher and the hearer. This workshop will examine the venerable, and practical, practice of lectio divina in sermon preparation. 5/11/2019 2 Comments #46 - Fresh From The Field: What Your Congregation Can Learn From A New Church PlantFriday 1-2:30 pm
