Companions in Christ training, May 10-12
Rev. Thompson
Rev. Marjorie Thompson will lead a 3-day Leader Training event for the Companions in Christ series, May 10-12 at Upper Room Ministries, 1908 Grand Ave, Nashville. The event begins with registration at 3:00 p.m. May 10 and will end by mid-day May 12.
Thompson is a Presbyterian minister, author and spiritual director of the Companions in Christ initiative in Nashville. Those who attend the leader-training event will receive Companions in Christ resources essential for initiating Companions groups in their church.
This training provides an in-depth experience in Companions in Christ resources and develops in participants the distinctive leadership skills called upon when leading formational groups.
The Companions in Christ series from Upper Room Ministries brings a transforming small-group experience to congregations.
Most in-depth Christian studies offer knowledge about scripture, prayer, or other areas of faith. The Companions in Christ series invites participants into a deeper experience of the Christian life. As the journey unfolds participants discover classic and contemporary spiritual practices that form rather than inform the participants and encourage them in inner and outward expressions of their faith.
Authors of the Companions series include Stephen D. Bryant, editor/publisher of Upper Room Ministries; Gerrit Scott Dawson, senior minister of First Presbyterian Church in Lenoir, NC; Adele J. Gonzalez, Assistant Director of the Office of Lay Ministry in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami, FL; E. Glenn Hinson, author and retired professor of spirituality at the Baptist Theological Seminary in Richmond, VA; Rueben P. Job, a retired United Methodist bishop and former editor/publisher of The Upper Room; Marjorie J. Thompson, author and Spiritual Director of the Companions in Christ initiative in Nashville, TN; and Wendy M. Wright, professor of theology at Creighton University in Omaha, NE.
The registration fee is $250. To register, visit Website www.companionsinchrist.org.
