February 11, 2012 “For the Beginner: a First Spiritual Retreat” An introduction for first-timers and other beginners, who may come to understand why spiritual retreats are the life blood for many Christians. PRESENTER – Dr. Connie Devilbiss, College Professor, Author and Retreat Leader
March 10, 2012 “Becoming Who You Are: exploring the fruits of the Spirit,” a Lenten Retreat. Fruits – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self- control, are the result of a Spirit-filled life, which is open to all of us who then can become the persons we were meant to be. PRESENTER – Dr. Tom Williamsen, Composer, Pastor, Gloria Dei Luth Church, Arnold, MD
April 21, 2012 “Unlock The Power of Singing In Your Congregation!” Singing is good for the body and for the soul. Rick will teach ways to get old and young singing during worship and at other church gatherings. Singing should be fun, energizing and a reflection of the culture and history of the congregation. This will be a highly participatory event. You don’t need to be a good singer or know how to read music. PRESENTER – Rev. Rick Hill, Author, Composer, Recording Artist, Pastor
May 19, 2012 “Poisonous Faith: Disinfection and Prevention” a retreat to prepare a realistic “Advance” to a healthy discipleship. An examination of a toxic veneration: of the Bible (Fundamentalism); of the ordained ministry (clericalism); of behavior (moralism). The use of historical roots will provide effective antidotes. PRESENTER – Dr. Eric W. Gritsch, Prof. Emeritus, Gettysburg Seminary, Author, Lecturer
