Breakout: Creation Care
June 22, 2019 • Abby Tampkin & David Wituszynski
God gives us specific vocations for how we are to do his kingdom work, but we also all have general vocations as image bearers of God. One of those general vocations is to tend and keep the earth – God’s creation – as his servant rulers and to fill it with his glory. What does this look like, and what does this have to do with the gospel and Christ’s kingdom? We’ll talk about creation, incarnation, resurrection, and the restoration of all things – and how these big things might affect our daily lives.
Breakout: Family Life
June 22, 2019 • Dan Harless, Erica Hart, Jeremy Hart, Kerri Hart, Lisa Stone, Katie Wenzel
God has bestowed the gift of contented singleness upon some accompanied by a call to powerful Kingdom-advancing work (1 Cor. 7:7,32), sometimes in conspicuous ways - think Jesus, Paul, John Stott – and sometimes inconspicuously. More commonly, God’s gift is marriage and children. The call to pursue profound Kingdom expansion in and through the family is just as compelling, if not more complicated, as it is in the life of a single saint. This call for families to build the Kingdom and raise Citizens is consistent with the “very good” purposes God had for Adam’s family even before their fall. This panel will explore how God’s Word calls families into a “peculiar” way of life, and how His Spirit empowers parents through the Gospel to intentionally transform their daily routine into a display of the virtues and perfections of Him who has called them (1 Peter 2:9).
Breakout: Women in the Workplace
June 22, 2019 • Gwen Nordman, Megan Adams, Hilary Conlon, Laura Kempf, Krysta Person, Janeen Sylvester, Barb Warner
We are called to live as citizens of God’s kingdom, beginning with our immediate spheres of influence. In this breakout session, we will consider how we might more effectively, joyfully, and seamlessly live out the gospel in the workplace – whether in an office, clinic, classroom, or dining room. We will discuss the theology of work, practical implications for working to the glory of God, and how to grow in our relationship with the Lord both in and through our work.
