L311 - 用右腦讀聖經

陳頌恩牧師博士 (Rev. Dr. Joyce CHAN)

華人信徒酷愛查經。一般以左腦以文字為本 (thinking in words) 的邏輯思維了解經文意義,包括研究歷史背景、查考原文字彙、分析文體結構等方法。在這個工作坊中,導師會帶領學員嘗試用右腦專長於圖象感受(feeling through visualization) 的功能去更深切體會神話語對我們生命的信息。請參加此工作坊的朋友帶備一本速寫本 (sketchbook) 和顏色筆。

E301 - An Encouragement for 2nd Generation English Ministries of Chinese Churches

Matthew Todd

We are living in turbulent times that have created a lot of confusion and struggle. Maybe you feel it’s sapped your plans, dreams, and peace leading you to resonate with the new work term “quiet quitting.” Encouragement is like oxygen, it clears our hearts and minds and inspires us. This workshop emphasizes a renewed focus, deconstructing where we’ve been, and spurring one another on.

C303 - 探索新移民男士的需要及牧養

黃慶深牧師 Rev. Sam Wong

近年大量香港人移居到加拿大,此情況相信將會持續多年。這些移民中的中年已婚男士,與太太或連同孩子到來,適應上都面對巨大的挑戰。特別是職業男性到加拿大後,往往未必能從事本來的專業工作,其中一個可能從較低職級入職,亦可能轉行至一些低技術工種,甚或成為家庭主要照顧者。因著這些改變,家人關係往往會大受影響和衝擊,而導致情緒低落,甚至患上抑鬱症的例子亦不少。此工作坊目的,就是與參加者一起探索新移民男士的特性及牧養方向。對象:有心服事新移民男士的弟兄、教會領袖、牧者或機構同工。

C302 - 從兒童事工到兒童門訓

陳頌恩牧師博士

過去二、三十年的教會運作模式,主要是以事工為主導,兒童事工也不例外。但最近Barna組織「兒童事工的新現實」的研究報告中指出:兒童事工模式已不切合新時代的需要。教會和父母都為下一代陸續離開教會而感到擔心和無助。Reggie Joiner,Think Orange 的創辦人提醒我們:「作為領袖,作為父母,我們的主要呼召不是讓我們的孩子留在教會,而是塑造他們成為教會……我們能給他們最好的禮物就是幫助他們尋找自己在上帝救贖和復和故事中扮演的角色,並積極參與在其中。」在這個工作坊中,學員有機會反思一貫兒童事工模式的利弊,並一同締造並思考如何實現以天國為導向的兒童門訓願景。鼓勵兒童事工的義工、家長和教牧領袖一同參加此工作坊。

C212 - 你明白所唱的嗎 ?

吳忻牧師博士 Rev.Dr. Zion Wu

唱詩是集體敬拜的一個重要部份。信徒個人靈修、敬拜時,也會唱詩。不少經典聖詩的作者皆為先賢、牧者,神重用的僕人。他們具深度的作品所蘊藏的真理及屬靈意義,單從字面上的頌唱,信徒未必能完全領會。本研習班將選取一些經典聖詩,探討它們的屬靈意義,讓信徒對所唱的能更明白,靈命進深。

T201 - #LiveHolystic // How bridging the division in our lives sets us uniquely apart

James Beng Lee

As the world around us seems to be getting increasingly divided, there is a temptation for us to jump on the next “activist” agenda and exhaust our energy on the latest fight for unity. While these battles may be important and our desire for change may be well-meaning, there is one divide that James argues needs more of our attention. And that is the division that lies deep within ourselves. Through the honest lens of his own personal transformation journey through pain and addiction and the eternal lens of God’s Word, James will call us to a life of wholeness and holiness (ie to "liveholystic”) and show us how the intentional journey of bridging the divides in our personal life is critical if we want to see God’s vision of flourishing in our homes, churches and the wider world.

E101 - Holy Spirit University

Simon Gau

How familiar are you with the Holy Spirit? Let me ask you a question. It’s not a trick question, although it’s going to feel like one: As Christ followers today, do we directly interact with Jesus? How you answer may reveal how much or how little you may know about this crucial topic. We're going back to school and are going to be discovering the person of the Holy Spirit and the role of the Holy Spirit.
