You are welcome and wanted at this year's Ministry and Gifts Fair on November 15 at Emmanuel Church, Winchester.  We will enjoy a number of workshops with a myriad of topics; so there will be something for most everyone! Our keynote speaker is The Rev. Stuart Hoke, Th.D. 

Stuart is an Episcopal priest and widely sought after teacher of the Twelve Steps of Alcoholic Anonymous. He has taught courses on both the role of churches in responding to addiction and recovery and the spirituality of the Twelve Steps at General Theological Seminary and in the wider church. Stuart has served as a priest for Trinity Wall Street and pastor for St. Paul's Chapel in downtown New York City. 

Father Hoke will also be offering workshops on the spirituality of the twelve steps and how our parishes can be a part of responding to addiction and recovery.  Other workshops will include how the church can be present in a social media age, engaging in prison and jail ministry, effective vestry practices led by Bishop Hahn, calligraphy, writing in a Christian context, journaling, dream interpretation, engaging young adults, ministry with the children of Guatemala, spirituality and older adults, how a parish can connect with community youth through mentoring, and more!

The cost is $20 and registration begins that day at 8:30, with opening worship, keynote, sessions, and lunch going from 9:30 a.m.- 4:00 p.m.
