SUMMARY:Spiritual Conversations Workshop - Refresher
DESCRIPTION:Did you miss the Spiritual Conversations workshop in January at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Salem\, Oregon? \nMembers from local LCMS congregations gathered to hear Jennifer Prophete\, Director of Lutheran Hour Ministries’ The Hopeful Neighborhood Project\, present valuable insights and direction on how to go from “reluctant” to “confident” to “eager” for spiritual conversations.

It is especially for those who missed the first one or would like a “refresher” – but anyone who wishes to come is welcome\, even if they did not attend the first.

SUMMARY:Spiritual Conversations Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Click here to register for the FREE Spiritual Conversations Workshop on Jan. 31 — presented by Lutheran Hour Ministries and Redeemer Lutheran Church in Salem\, Oregon. \nDispel the myths that keep us from sharing the most valuable piece of information we have! Do our churches just want new members\, or do we want new Christians coming to our churches? We know our neighbors less today than at any other point in our history. We live in a culture where everyone goes inside\, shuts their doors\, and keeps to themselves\, which makes it really awkward to engage with your neighbors past a wave and a smile. \nAt this Spiritual Conversations Workshop\, you can learn practical tools for building trust so you can approach conversations wisely. Rather than worrying about saying “the right thing\,” learn how timing\, posture\, and especially listening matter more. \nJenifer Prophete\, director of “The Hopeful Neighborhood Project” from Lutheran Hour Ministries\, will also introduce you to the Spiritual Conversation Curve\, a research-based means to help you recognize when a conversation is welcome and when it is not. You will learn how to respond thoughtfully\, without pressure or forcing moments that aren’t ready. \nMeeting the people who live closest to you doesn’t have to be uncomfortable.\nPlease register for this No Cost to You Workshop at www.LHM.org/SALEM \nSchedule:\n9:00-9:25 a.m. – Arrival; coffee\, tea\, and conversation; find a seat\n9:30 a.m. – Start of Spiritual Conversations Workshop\n9:30-11:30 a.m. – Workshop 1\, “The Eager Conversationalist”\n11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. – Free catered lunch\n12:30 – 2:25 p.m. – Workshop 2\, “The Spiritual Conversation Curve”\n2:30 p.m. – Close with prayer \n3:15 p.m. – optional opportunity to meet with Jennifer Prophete to learn more about “The Hopeful Neighborhood Project” and how it might be beneficial for your church.
