INSPIRING MODELS EVENT LEXINGTON

For some time our conference representatives for the Tri-State Area of Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia have envisioned holding an “Inspiring Models for Effective Ministries Event” in the greater Lexington, Kentucky area. This event is now scheduled for May 21, 2005, at the Lexington First United Methodist Church, 200 West High Street, Lexington, KY. The event will begin at 9:00 a.m., with registration from 8:30-9:00, and will end at 3:00 p.m.

The theme for the day is Jesus Calls Us, and our theme scripture is John 1:29-51. There will be special music and worship and a morning and afternoon keynote address by Donna F. G. Hailson, professor of Evangelism and Renewal at Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Donna is active within the mainline reform and renewal movement through the Confessing Theologians Commission and the Association for Church Renewal. Her creative and challenging topics for the day will be: “The Raccoon, the Door to Door Salesman and the Home Away from Home: Coming to Faith in Christ,” and, “The Scum of the Earth and the Garden Alone: Spiritual Disciplines and Discipleship in the Now.”

Workshop topics include: Jesus Leads Us—Into Mission Opportunities We Never Expected; Jesus Leads Us—To Teach and Nurture Young Women; Jesus Leads Us—Into Personal Well-Being, Faithful Friendships and Strong Families; Jesus Leads Us—To Celebrate Him and All That He Offers. United Methodist laywomen will lead these workshops involving interactive participation by those attending.

We are excited about this special day and invite any of you who are within driving distance to join us—or come the evening before and stay at one of two local hotels close to First UMC.
