SCHEDULE FOR SACRAMENTO
Deeping Friendships With Kids
(Early-Bird Seminars)
Oct 10 10:00 AM-11:30 AM
Sacramento
There is perhaps no greater need in youth ministry than to develop true friendships with teenagers. For some of us, this comes very naturally. But for others, we struggle with knowing how to connect with kids—especially if we’re over 25 years old! So in this seminar, we’ll unpack the following: • The five essential ingredients in adult-teenager friendships • What to say, how to act, what to wear, and how to find teenagers outside of the youth or Sunday school room • Practical ideas for deepening your friendships and how to take your relationship to the next level • The boundaries when relating to teenagers (How do I relate to the opposite sex without getting myself in trouble or giving the wrong impression?) • How to move from being just a “friend” to having spiritual conversations with kids This will be a highly interactive and practical seminar. Come join us as we dive into developing relationships with kids!
The Quiet Time: A Path to Spiritual Intimacy with God
(Seminar Series #2)
Oct 11 8:00 AM-9:30 AM
Sacramento
Many of us have taught others about spending time with Jesus, but the grim reality is that most of us personally struggle to know how to spend intimate time with Jesus ourselves. And we’re too embarrassed to admit it or talk about it with anyone. In this seminar we’ll discuss the most basic of spiritual disciplines—spending time with Jesus. Together we’ll explore the following: • How do real people find time to be alone with Jesus? • What makes up a quiet time with Jesus? How much time do I need to spend? What do I do? • Are there creative ways to be with Jesus throughout the day that don’t fit into a normal quiet-time format? • Is a quiet time more than a devotional? Is there more to it than just reading Scripture and saying a prayer? • Does God speak in a quiet time? If so, then why doesn’t God speak to me? How do we hear the voice of Jesus? There are no formulas for fixing a broken or struggling relationship with Jesus, but there are some things we can do to begin growing closer to our Savior. Come explore the journey of intimacy with Jesus Christ.
