April 23-25 | The Barefoot Way: A Guide for Youth, Young Adults and the People Who Walk with Them
Presented by Austin Seminary and APCE, funded by First Presbyterian Bryan, Texas
DESCRIPTION:
God spoke to Moses at the burning bush, essentially telling him to kick off his flip-flops and get ready to stand on holy ground. God speaks to us all today, asking us to follow a barefoot way—one which invites us to experience the Holy One who has a call on our lives. Join us to practice a method of theological reflection which will renew us in our callings, even as it challenges us to expand our roles as leaders who act from our own inner wisdom, and learn ways to invite children, youth, and adults in discerning their call to vocations of care for the earth, the church, and all of God’s people. $75 for SCRAPCE and APCE members, $125 for non-APCE members
