Registration is now open for the April 26-28 Clergy Conference at Honey Creek. Our main presenter will be the Rev. Chuck DeGroat whose latest book is Toughest People to Love. DeGroat is an Associate Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling at Western Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids Michigan and a Senior Fellow at the Newbigin House of Studies. While the book does focus on caring for the most difficult people clergy leaders encounter in the parish, a central point is to recognize that sometimes those most difficult people happen to be us. A good part of the work will then be on our own self care, for we can't care for the difficult people we encounter without first caring for ourselves. You are encouraged to read the book prior to the conference: Toughest People to Love at Amazon

 

Cost for the meeting including the conference presentations, room and board are Lodge Room Double for $158, Lodge Room Single for $240, Shared cottage (or Dorm) for $118 and Tent Camping and Commuters for $100.

Have you ever wanted to be a hero?  I mean, have you ever wanted to fly or ever dreamed of being a firefighter?  Many of us have.  Come explore what it takes to be a hero at Spring Rally.

During the weekend, we will talk about what it takes to be a hero, what is our hero's code for following Christ, how to start a movement, and so much more. Because ordinary people can change the world by doing extraordinary things through the love of God as found in Jesus. During this retreat, participants will also get input into next year's youth programs.

Spring Rally will be held May 1-3, 2015 at Honey Creek. 

It is open to those in 6th-12th grade.
