Seminar will focus on creativity in church programs, worship

Church leaders who are seeking more creativity in their programs and worship can find some new ideas at a ministry seminar this weekend.

First General Baptist Church in Cape Girardeau is holding its Ministry Summit Friday and Saturday. Friday's worship service is at 7 p.m. and conference registration opens at 6 p.m. Saturday events begin at 8 a.m. and end with a noon meal.

Sally Morgenthaler of Littleton, Colo. will speak during the session and again Saturday. She will talk about creative worship and sacred space. Robyn Hosp of Jackson will sing.

The event expects to draw nearly 100 people from Missouri and surrounding states. It is being organized by Dr. Barry E. Winders and Ministry Indicators Inc.

Winders said the event is for church leaders who are tired of pre-packaged programs. "Ministry Summit 2002 will stir the creative juices in church leaders," he said.

Other speakers include Dr. Brad Robison, the Rev. Luther Rhodes, Jim Pratt and Winders.

Registration for both days is $89 and includes a noon meal Saturday. Registration for Friday only is $10.
