07 Sep Regional Lay and Youth Training Events

A series of training events for laypersons will be held in five different locations during September and October. They are designed for anyone serving in some type of local church ministry. The training will include principles that can be applied to any size church and to any segment of ministry.

Each event will be held on a Saturday from 9 am to 3 pm.

• September 22: Mount Pleasant Church (Chambersburg, Pa.)
• September 29: Mainstreet Church (Walbridge, Ohio)
• October 6: Eden Church (Mason, Mich.)
• October 13: Lancaster UB Church (Lancaster, Ohio)
• October 20: Emmanuel Community Church (Fort Wayne, Ind.)
• October 27: Atlantic Avenue UB church (Franklin, Pa.)

The schedule will be the same at each location, with these four sessions:

9:00 – 10:30: The Non-Negotiables for All Churches
10:45 – Noon: Structuring Your Ministry to be Effective
1:30 – 2:30: Push Backs to Effective Ministry
2:30 – 3:00: Question and Answer time

The cost is free (though lunch is on your own at nearby restaurants). You can register online, or email the names of people from your church to Bishop Ron Ramsey’s administrative assistant.

Training for United Brethren youth workers will occur at the same time. This is a whole different track. The youth training will occur in the same locations as the lay training events, and will follow the same schedule.
