Advanced lay speaking session slated at St. Luke’s

St. Luke’s UMC, Corpus Christi, is playing host to two advanced courses for lay speakers April 22-23.
“Lay Speakers Preach” is designed for lay speakers who have not completed formal preaching training. The course provides practical tips for people called on to preach occasionally but who are not formally trained as pastors.
“Lay Speakers Lead Small Groups” helps lay speakers identify the roles they play as leaders of small groups and helps them understand the power their leadership can have in transforming Christian lives.
If you wish to learn more about scripture and the doctrine, heritage, organization and life of The United Methodist Church, you may want to explore the lay speaking ministry.
For information about lay speaking or to register for a lay speaking course, pick up a brochure in your church office, or call Sheila Yuras at the Corpus Christi District Office, (361) 852-8268.
Registration deadline for these advanced courses is April 8.
