FALL MEN'S WEEKEND TO REVEAL SECRETS OF YOUR DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT
How do you balance a very busy schedule, complaining church members, complaining pastors (they're the worst), a cumbersome church bureaucracy, our tedious United Methodist practices and still maintain your faith?
If you can do that, what you have left is the spirituality with which Jesus encountered the world. Oddly, this spirituality is often the most overlooked part of our "journey" today.
During the weekend you'll learn the techniques our own leadership has adopted to help them maintain a steady walk with God and a strong relationship with Jesus Christ. With us for Friday and leading off will be Bishop Carcaño - then as the weekend unfolds our District Superintendents will help us reconnect with four basic spiritual disciplines you can use to "encounter" your world without feeling as if you have lost your soul in the process:
- Forgiveness
- Self-Emptying
- Sabbath Keeping, and
- Hospitality.
Through the use of humor and personal example, scripture and prayer, it'll become clear what works for them and what doesn't - and what could work for you.
This year's Men's Weekend is Friday through Sunday, September 30-October 2, at Prescott, Arizona. It's for men 13 yrs and older (young men 13 yrs - 17 yrs need to be accompanied by an adult and receive a 50% discount). There's also special pricing for registering early, by September 1st.
