Worship Update 10/2

Coming Sunday, October 18, 4-7pm at Sunset Presbyterian Church Gym

This Sunset Community Conference is designed to provide the training and tools adults need to understand the adolescent experience and help us integrate our students into the full life of the church family.

Grounded in a solid theology of church life and community, the seminar helps men and women to grapple with their own fears about our changing world, and allows them to recognize and address how these fears are passed down to the kids that God is calling each of us to serve, nurture, embrace and love. This conference features Chap Clark – a well-known practitioner, adolescent and family scholar, author, gifted trainer-teacher and energetic speaker.

Chap has a Bachelor of Arts in Communication (cum laude) from the University of California, San Diego, and a M. A. Theology and Master of Divinity from Fuller Seminary and a Ph.D. from the University of Denver in Human Communications Studies, specializing in relationships, teamwork and leadership, and organizational and family systems.

Chap will also be speaking in our 9 am and 11am Sunday morning services. No conference fees; a free-will offering will be taken. Invite your community… friends, neighbors, teachersClick here to register for free children's programming (birth - 5 year olds) for the 4:30 pm session.

Update/Announcement
Worship & Creative Arts is excited this year to be starting a new process that will track when you serve on Sundays. In the past, some of you who serve regularly have flown completely under the radar. Consequently, our database program (and therefore, our church) has had practically no knowledge that you have even attended!

Starting October 11th we will add a check-in component to the stage manager’s job; they’ll check-in every person who is serving on that Sunday morning through a laptop and our FellowshipOne database. So… if you suddenly start seeing your name associated with a barcode in a binder in the green room, don’t be alarmed. J
