2008 Spring Sexual Boundary Training for Clergy
All Capital Area Clergy who have never had sexual boundary training are encouraged to take it this spring. You will get CEU credit, your insurance company will love you, and you will be made aware of some of the traps into which we too easily fall. If you have not had a refresher course in five years, you need to take it. If you have questions, on your need for the course please email the regional office at mail@cccadisciples.org.
The Commission for Ministry in partnership with the Ministerial Association are offering Sexual Boundary Training twice over the next several months. The first is to be held Saturday, June 7th from 9 am to 1 pm at Asbury Village in Gaithersburg, MD. Cost is $10 and we do have scholarships so gas will not overwhelm you. We need your registration by June 1.
We will also offer the event this fall. It will probably be a weekday, daytime event. Attached is a PDF flyer with driving directions and other information.
Refresh: Camp & Conference Counselor Training - May 24, 2008
Refresh is a Camp & Conference Counselor training event on May 24, 2008, from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM, for all Camp & Conference directors, counselors, staff, and supporters. With summer on its way and the camp season underway, it's time to get refreshed. You'll gather with new and old counselors to learn new skills, hear cool ideas, stay up to date on camp changes, worship together, and have fun. And of course, there will be plenty of food!
During our worship time, Rev. Bill Chaney will bring the keynote, geared toward helping us find new ways to "Make the Bible Real". We'll have workshops on important topics like camp safety as well as thought-provoking ideas like the postmodern life cycle. At the close of our time together, we'll have delicious barbecue, a thank you from the Camp & Conference commission for your hard work!
All Camp & Conference directors and counselors are encouraged to attend.
If you have never counseled a camp before and are curious about it, you are welcome to come too!
