Here's information on this year's Ministers Convocation April 20-23, 2020
East Coast - East Freetown, Massachusetts
Preaching that Keeps the Preacher’s Soul Alive.
Sermon preparation can deplete our souls or fill our hearts. This is true for each step in the process—reading the story, looking for God, arranging ideas, and sharing what we find.
We have an amazing spiritual leader this year, Rev. Dr. Brett Younger. He h
as been the Senior Minister of Plymouth Church in Brooklyn since 2016. Before coming to Plymouth, Brett was a professor at the McAfee School of Theology of Mercer University in Atlanta. Younger was a pastor in Texas, Kansas, and Indiana. He is the author of five books that not nearly enough people have read.
Midwest - Adrian, Michigan
Rev. Dr. Sarah Griffith Lund will be joining us at the Midwest Convention to share with us about her book "Blessed are the Crazy: Breaking the Silence About Mental Illness, Family and Church". Which explores her own story of family, faith and mental illness. She gr
aduated with her M.Div from Princeton Theological Seminary and at the same time received her Master of Social Work from Rutgers University. In 2002 she was ordained into Christian ministry through the Disciples of Christ and served for several years as a local church pastor in Brooklyn, Minneapolis, Indianapolis and Florida.
