What does theology have to do with Youth Ministry? 
Thursday, May 16 12 - 3 p.m. Bethlehem Covenant (3141 43rd Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN 55406) www.bethlehemcov.org  Many times, people hear "theology" and think, "Abstract ideas, big words, lots of arguing, nothing practical." In this session, Paul Eddy will lead us in a conversation on the practical side of theology within the context of youth ministry.
Dr. Paul Eddy is a Biblical and Theological Studies professor at Bethel University. Bring your lunch and join us for our last Youth Pastor's Connection of the 2012-2013 school year. Coming Connections: The Connection takes a break for summer. We'll be back Sept. 19. |
