Title: A God Filled Life: The Kingdom of God in Everything
Presenter: David and Shauna Anderson
Seminar Type: Adult Seminar
Description: The story is too often told, the presence of God in people’s passions and callings pushed aside in order to ‘put God first’ through mission work, later through painful experience (and bitterness) missions is set aside. This seminar focuses on preparing for mission through understanding the scope of God’s kingdom, which is as large as life itself.
Date/time: Saturday Jan. 28, 2012–12:30 PM
Room Number: Room 10 Room Capacity: 105

Title: Opening Windows to God’s Wonderful World
Presenter: Ruth DesCotes
Seminar Type: Grades 4/5
Description: Engaging children directly in the world around them is basic to awareness of global needs.

Through a hands-on interactive program, they will learn how to make a difference and contribute to the well-being of people in other parts of the world.
