Faith Formation Gatherings:                   

Faith Formation Gatherings will be held on Sunday following breakfast.  To help us better plan, we ask that you choose the one you are most likely to attend and indicate your choice on the back of your registration form.  This is not a reservation.

Disarming Debates - Could this work in your neighborhood?  Controversial issues are a fact of life, threatening to divide us from the very people about whom we care and with whom we share faith and fellowship.  Can healthy discussions lead us deeper into faith and life instead of splitting us apart? Skilled mediators introduce a new resource which calls us to the table to listen, explore and utilize faith to discern what God might be calling us to consider.  

Exploring Conflict in the Early Church : A Bible Study - Rev. Linda Kuhn will lead an engaging Bible study exploring the nature of conflict in the early church, scriptural principles for “fair fighting,” and spiritual resources available to us as a community of faith seeking to be faithful. The workshop will be set within the backdrop of the paper-cutting visuals prepared by the Arts Committee illustrating conflict and God’s intention for reconciliation.  

Rev. Kuhn has dual standing in the Presbyterian Church USA and Northeast Association WCUCC.  She has been serving as an intentional interim pastor for 25 years.  Linda and her husband, Dave King, run Sand Bur Consulting, working with congregations on issues of conflict, mission studies, and revitalization.  

More than Decorating - Papercuttings. Silk paintings.  Banners.  The Arts Committee will help us explore easy and inexpensive ways to enhance our worship experience from week to week, season to season with integrity and interest.  

NOOMA - Gather with the Conference Youth Ministry Team to view and discuss one of the hottest new resources in faith formation, the NOOMA video series narrated by Rob Bell founding pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grandville , Michigan .  

Peacemaking Circles - Experience how this process of sharing and listening creates a trusting space in which circle members value and respect each other as equals.  Hear stories of how it is used in schools, as a restorative alternative to suspension of children for minor offenses; in churches, to create community in urban neighborhoods, to deal with problems; and in the criminal justice system.  Facilitator Rev. Roger Brooks is a volunteer in the Community Conferencing Program that is run by the office of the Milwaukee County District Attorney.
