Word in Action, part two

Hey everyone! Yes, it's true- a day TWO update on Word in Action- but it was THAT GREAT of an event that you should be hearing about it twice in two days! Our friends at the Word FM posted some pictures on their website- so make sure you click on over to see what all we did in Allentown this past Saturday. Truely, I'm still reeling from what a fantastic day it was - if you weren't there, you definitely missed out. (But don't worry too much- we'll be sure to do it again).

In other CE news, if you haven't signed up yet for this fall's free workshop, "The Five Youth Ministry Trends that are Killing the Church," there's still three more nights that you can come and hear Dave Coryell speak: tonight at Indian Valley Mennonite Church in Harleysville, next Tuesday (9/30) @ Ephrata Methodist Church in Ephrata, and the following tuesday (10/7) @ New Life Fellowship Church in Glassboro, NJ. If you live near these churches, I highly encourage you to give less than two hours to hear this phenomenal presentation on what our youth ministries are doing that SEEM good, but are really just hurting the church. Come find out WHAT you, AND Christian Endeavor, can do to make these trends disappear. I haven't been to a workshop yet, but I did a lot of research for Dave, so TRUST me when I say that you shouldn't miss these nights! (Plus, I hear there have been giveaways, prizes, & packets of information about CE given out- sure, stuff you can get online- but have you ever really had the chance to meet & mingle with Dave &/or some of the rest of the staff? If the answer is no, then you should check one of these nights out.) But that's just my humble opinion- straight from the Intern's mouth, that is! Here's what one pleased individual had to say about last week's workshop:
I have always told my fellow counselors, don't worry, they are listening...but frankly I'm not sure I truly believed that until your workshop! I think I can be much more laid back now, and focus on what's truly important.

In other news, Sam has recently been working on the website, trying to bring us up to speed with all things Internet- and I've gotta say, the hard work has paid off! What do you think? We've begun to list upcoming events for other churches and organizations who are both independant and cohesively tied to CE- does your group have an upcoming event you think we should post? Leave a comment here or send me an email (lstauffer@pachristianendeavor.org) and we'll work on that. We really want to be a place where you can come for updated information & events YOU want to participate in- help us help you better by giving us the info we all will need.

Enjoy today!
