APC Spiritual Enrichment Retreat 2013 - Christianity in Crisis

CHRISTIANITY IN CRISIS:

The church was tearing itself apart.  Leadership was timid.  Cliques had formed. Arrogance replaced morality.  Worship became selfish. Jealousy was rampant.  Strongly-held beliefs disappeared.

What can church at its worst teach us about living the spiritual life?

Join the Ardmore Presbyterian Church on January 25-27, 2013 as we explore
God’s response to crisis.

The Corinthians and Today’s Spirituality
 
Meet Dr. Soards, an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and professor of New Testament at the Louisville Presbyterian Seminary.  He is a frequent lecturer at conferences and schools for pastors throughout the United States and a much sought after guest preacher and teacher. He has published more than 60 articles, reviews, and sermons in leading theological dictionaries and professional journals worldwide and is the author of over twenty books, including The Apostle Paul: An Introduction to His Writings and Teaching (Paulist Press, 1987), The Speeches in Acts: Their Context, Content, and Concerns (Westminster John Knox, 1994); and I Corinthians (Hendrickson Publishers, 1999).

There is also a program for the kids. Using song, stories and crafts, our children will learn about a spirituality based on God's grace in Jesus Christ.  Sherina Poorman, Anne Foote and friends are preparing a fun time for our children.

Please register by January 21st on our website or by mail. A cost of $10 per person or $25 per family helps provide the food and materials for all attending.  Scholarships are available.
