with the playful and the prayerful,
combining the elements of a guided retreat
with the skills and information of a workshop
This is a learning by doing workshop. In morning sessions, you will focus on specific skills that your parish needs to successfully meet the challenges of the new millenium. In the afternoon sessions, you will use these skills to envision and complete a specific project focused in the areas of Worship, Word, Community, and Service. In the context of these projects, you will have an opportunity to:
- identify the core values of a community
- balance the conflicting needs of people, ministry and administration
- delegate responsibility
- explore the characteristics of authentic leadership
- practice collaborative problem solving and conflict resolution
