SUMMARY:TPM Sisterhood 2023
DESCRIPTION:August 18-20 at Warrambui \nSisterhood 2023 is a retreat for women of all ages to connect with and support each other\, and to grow in our faith. The weekend includes times of Bible study and worship\, reflection and self-discovery exercises\, electives to nurture our creativity and our spirits\, and dedicated time for rest and rejuvenation. Sisterhood retreats provide a nurturing and caring environment where participants can deepen their connections\, gain personal insights\, and recharge in the company of like-minded women. \nThe theme of this year’s sisterhood retreat\, “Her Story\,” invites women to reflect on God’s work in our lives\, and how every woman’s story is unique and holds immense value. Throughout the retreat\, participants will be encouraged to reflect on their personal journeys\, recognising the trials\, triumphs\, and transformative moments that have shaped them. Delving into these stories allows for a deeper understanding of our identity and purpose\, and allows us to learn from and appreciate the stories of others. Together\, we will explore how our stories contribute to a collective legacy of faith and wonder at the ways in which we see God intricately woven into the fabric of our lives. \nFor more details\, and to register\, go to tpmsisterhood.com

SUMMARY:Frontier Intensive Training - Missional Discipleship
DESCRIPTION:Melbourne School of Theology is excited to offer two units as intensives at its MST-Frontier Port Macquarie campus in the first semester of 2023 in collaboration with MST-Frontier School of Mission. The units can be applied toward either an accredited Certificate/Graduate Certificate (4 units) or a Diploma/Graduate Diploma (8 units) or can be taken as an audit for those who would simply like to sit in on the lectures and do the readings. \nThis unit\, taught by LCA Executive Officer for Local Mission Dr Tania Nelson\, and LCA pastor for New and Renewing Churches\, Nathan Hedt\, begins with Jesus’ practice of discipleship as found in the Gospels and examines practical ways in which discipleship can occur in various missional settings within the Australian context. \nThe student will not only be challenged to re-discover Jesus’ radical approach to discipleship\, but to apply this to their own lives and to mission and ministry in contemporary Australia. \nBooks to consider reading in preparation for this unit: \n\nJohn Stott. The Radical Disciple: Wholehearted Christian Living (IVP\, 2021)\nTania Nelson. The Challenge of Missional Renewal (ACR\, 2022)\nNathan Hedt. Return from Exile: How Congregations can survive and thrive in a post-pandemic world (ACR\, 2022)\n\nFor more information contact Dr Mark Worthing\, Campus Academic Dean of MST-Frontier. \nEmail: frontier@lca.org.au \nPhone: 0428 557 663

SUMMARY:Frontier Intensive Training - Foundational Christian Beliefs
DESCRIPTION:Melbourne School of Theology is excited to offer two units as intensives at its MST-Frontier Port Macquarie campus in the first semester of 2023 in collaboration with MST-Frontier School of Mission. The units can be applied toward either an accredited Certificate/Graduate Certificate (4 units) or a Diploma/Graduate Diploma (8 units) or can be taken as an audit for those who would simply like to sit in on the lectures and do the readings. \nThis unit\, taught by Dr Mark Worthing\, pastor of St Peter’s Lutheran Church\, Port Macquarie\, is an introduction to basic Christian beliefs. \nThe unit examines Christian teachings with a focus on the mission of the church. The material is structured around the Church Year\, giving it a practical focus for worship. \nWe begin with Advent and the preparation for the coming of Jesus\, look at the incarnation of God at Christmas\, reflect on Jesus’ death and resurrection as commemorated on Good Friday and Easter\, the Holy Spirit as celebrated at Pentecost\, then Trinity Sunday\, the doctrine of the Church for the Pentecost season\, and finish with a celebration of the coming of Christ the King\, which we celebrate on the last Sunday of the Church Year. \nBooks to consider reading in preparation for this unit: \n\nMark Worthing. This is Most Certainly True: Learning Jesus Christ through Luther’s Small Catechism (ACR 2022)\nHans Schwarz. The Christian Faith: A Creedal Statement (Baker\, 2014)\n\nFor more information contact Dr Mark Worthing\, Campus Academic Dean of MST-Frontier. \nEmail: frontier@lca.org.au \nPhone: 0428 557 663
