Friends and readers,
I want to invite each of you to attend some of this year’s sessions of the Annual Conference in Denver. Adam is a dynamic pastor and very inspiring leader. I am sure that anyone who attends will gain something from the experience. You all know that I enjoy sharing leadership tips with you. I encourage you to attend this training if possible.



ADAM HAMILTON TO SPEAK AT ROCKY MOUNTAIN 2010 ANNUAL SESSION.

The theme of the 2010 Annual Conference Session of the Rocky Mountain Conference is “Everyone Leads, Everyone Serves.” The person chosen to “rethink” leadership in the local church, is Adam Hamilton, the Senior Pastor the Church of the Resurrection, a church of over 12,000 members, located in Leawood Kansas. His education presentation will take place Saturday, June 19, 2010. Remember, along with members of the conference session, interested persons from RMC local congregations are invited to attend Adam’s presentation, “Leading Beyond the Walls,” based on a book by the same name.

The presentation includes three sessions and a time for book signing,

8:30 am-10:15 am, “What Leaders do and Why,”
10:45-12:00 pm, “Effective Worship and Preaching,”
Book signing by Adam over lunch (Bring, Leading Beyond the Walls, or another one of Adam’s books you would like him to sign.)
1:45-3:15 pm, “Evangelism and the Future of Methodism.”


For additional information about Adam or any other aspect of the annual conference session, go to the Rocky Mountain Conference web site, rmcumc.org; open the “annual conference” tab and scroll down to “speakers.”

The Resurrection

This morning I received an email containing a story about a painting about the Resurrection. I am so grateful for people who can depict the theology of our faith so dynamically. Listen for something new. I found this expression of grace beautiful and inspiring. We have so many things to be grateful for. The artist in this clip shares his talent and knows first to know God we must turn to the Word. I hope you are finding something in God's Word fascinating too. Enjoy the art and the beauty of one disciple's gifts.
