Theme: Seeking to be Faithful Together:
Guidelines for Presbyterians During Times of Disagreement.
This two week series should be of interest to elders, deacons, church staff and any church member who is interested in dealing with everyday conflict before it reaches a critical mass. Not all conflict is bad. There is conflict in every decision making process. Conflict occurs at home, at work and in the church. We will learn about the symptoms of various stages of conflict, when it's good and when it's bad, how to recognize the stages and how to deal with conflict at each stage.
We will be led by a member of The Barnabas Team, Carlisle Presbytery's Team for Christian Accord. The purpose of The Barnabas Team is for its trained clergy and elders to offer their skills, efforts and commitment to help individuals or groups within congregations resolve actual or potential conflict.
Feb. 21 - Jim Richwine, pastor Emeritus, Middle Spring Presbyterian Church and facilitator of four monthly clergy support groups will be with us. He will give a power point presentation on conflict management put together by The Barnabas Group.
Theme: Digging Deeper into the Gospel of John
In October, the Adult Forum's goal was to explore the Gospel of John during four sessions. The Gospel contains 21 chapters. We made it through seven. (The fire drill didn't help.) You see, there is a great deal of material in the fourth gospel, apprehension of which is vital to our growth as Christians. So join us and our leader Phil Susemihl on February 28, and during the month of March, as we move forward in our study. This gospel has been described as the one which shows us how Jesus was, indeed, Emmanuel, which means "God with us." "The 'Word' Became flesh and dwelt among us..." Doesn't get any better!
