We will specifically look at how this plays out as adult children of parents who failed to nurture and affirm. It will critique the secular counselling approach of understanding parents so as to move beyond the resentment. The workshop will also identify the four responses to lack of Affirmation from parents: Pleasing, Performing, Carrying and Rebelling.
Bp. Bill Love
In this workshop, we will be exploring various aspects of Deliverance Ministry -- What it is, why it is important, and how to pray for deliverance from oppressive evil spirits that negatively impact our lives. The demonic influences spoken of in the Bible are just as real today as they were 2000 years ago. Fortunately, so is the healing power of Jesus Christ.
Rev. Dr. Winfield Bevins
The arts have the power to change lives and renew congregations, but its impact has been largely diminished in recent decades. Rather than being on the periphery of the church, the arts should be at the very center of the church’s life and mission. This training series will help you develop a vision and strategy for how your church can recover the power of the arts that will renew your church and impact your community.
Kate Harris
Drawing from the incarnational vision of Luke 2 and the transformative work of the Holy Spirit, this workshop tackles the perennial tension Christians face as they seek to live faithful, generous lives in the midst of practical limitations. Utilizing cross-disciplinary concepts from business, art, theology, and human development, Kate will equip participants with a practical framework to navigate complex trade-offs and gain tools to tackle both meaningful and mundane decisions with greater clarity and confidence.

Come see how God calls us all to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the whole world. Hear witness and testimony from the teens who traveled to Uganda this summer, and learn how God might be calling you and your parish to participate.
Josh Vanada and Micah Thompson
Every believer has been called, gifted, and empowered — not by accident, but by a God who delights in mobilizing His whole Church for His purposes. Rooted in the priesthood of all believers and the Spirit's power to do far more than we could ask or imagine, Micah and Josh will guide participants through the process of identifying their passions, skills, and gifts, and stepping boldly into the calling God has placed on their lives. But this session goes beyond the personal — together we will explore how to recognize and draw out those same gifts in the people around us, building a culture of intentional leadership development anchored in the depths of Christ's sacrifice and the ongoing work of His Spirit. When we live from the intersection of our God-given gifts and deepest passions, we edify our Lord Jesus Christ and His body — the Church.
