Join us for three days where we will explore how we can experience and give guidance in what Jesus called "the way of life."
We find mention of "the way" all throughout scripture.
“Followers of the Way” was a widely known name for Christians in the early church. In the Old Testament, Israel is instructed to keep God's commandments by walking in His way. Parents are instructed to teach their children the way of the Lord. David asked “Teach me Thy way, O Lord” – an example for us to follow. A challenge of our calling is how we can offer guidance in "the Way?”
Jesus concluded his earthly ministry with the “Great Commission” commanding his followers to “Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life” (Mtt 28:19).
So what does it look like for us to give guidance in this way of life?
In our annual Continuing Education gathering we will focus on ways that we can extend, and welcome God’s ongoing holy invitation to live this way of life.
