Steward Leaders in Changing Times

In the midst of challenge and change, congregational steward leaders are asked to provide answers and solutions. Plan now to attend:

"Steward Leaders in Changing Times"
Hilton Marco Island Resort, Florida
November 30 - December 3, 2009
The Ecumenical Stewardship Center, of which the
Church of the Brethren is a member, is sponsoring this event.

Come and learn, network, share, and worship with stewardship leaders from Canada and the U.S. (You can even add a night or two of personal time for rest and relaxation, a mid-winter retreat in a beautiful sunny location!)

This year’s seminar features:
  • Anthony B. Robinson, President of Congregational Leadership Northwest and author of Transforming Congregational Culture
  • Peter Steinke, author of "Congregational Leadership in Anxious Times" and founder of Healthy Congregations
  • Mike Bonem, president of Kingdom Transformation Partners and author of "Leading From the Second Chair: Serving Your Church, Fulfilling Your Role and Realizing Your Dreams"
  • Mardi Tindal, executive director at Five Oaks Retreat Centre, and participant in the Center for Courage & Renewal facilitator preparation program provided by Parker J. Palmer
  • Ron Klusmeier, composer and resource consultant
