For the past five years, Douglas Arthur has organized an event he calls a church builder's workshop. It was planned during times when many of our churches were thinking more about surviving than thriving. Each year it has grown in its scope and impact. This year, a very specific focus on preaching was targeted with the theme, "They Spoke So
Effectively".
The workshop began with a welcome dinner on Monday, April 20. Old friends and new acquaintances drove, flew or took the train to the Fairfax Marriott in northern Virginia, a suburb of our nation's capitol. Some lively singing followed, headed up by Tony Martin from Baltimore.
The 2009 New England Singles retreat “Hope for Glory” was my first time in a singles retreat since my baptism in December of 2007. Christians from all over New England and beyond came together with the purpose to dig into the scriptures, get to know each other, refresh old relationships or simply to make new ones. As for me, I came with the expectations of not knowing what I would find and trying to get away from a busy life and just to immerse myself into a circle that has the same thing in common, our love for God.
