Choices for Youth and Youth Workers

Our GLOBAL Village

Come be inspired to 'live bigger than yourself' and learn to become a world-changer! In this interactive,

media-driven seminar we'll tackle issues such as extreme poverty, fair-trade, globalization, trafficking,

child-soldiers, homelessness and much more, awakening you to some of these world issues and the role

we as Christians play in today's global village. Be warned! This session will challenge you and give you

the tools to be a catalyst for change in the world.

Presenter: Lucas Parry Room: Mirabella A

Kneeling in the End Zone: Spiritual Lessons From the World of SportsBasketball great Bill Russell said that sports are one of the "Big Four." "Only four kinds of events—

politics, religion, the arts, and sports—have been able to draw consistently large crowds of paying

customers throughout history," he said. "That must mean something." It must. People care about sports.

They talk about Saturday's games during Sunday school and cut out of worship early so that they won't

miss Sunday's kickoff. This workshop doesn't condone skipping out on worship, but it does use sports as

a lens through which to look at the Christian faith. It uses sports as a metaphor, drawing parallels

between scriptural stories and memorable tales from the field or court, and looks at those transcendent

moments in sports history that reveal larger truths about life.

Presenter: Josh Tinley Room: Mirabella B

Jesus Went the DistanceWhat if he had prayed, “They will be done” but really did not mean it? What if Jesus had stopped and

only prayed over the city and not gone in? What if Jesus had not gone the distance? Would we still call

Him Savior? The question to each one of us is “Can we follow Him the whole distance?”

Presenter: Rosemary Brown Room: Anatole

Crazy DancesIs one of your favorite parts of Warmth in Winter all of those CRAZY DANCES? This workshop gives

you a chance to get even more of what your absolutely love to do! Come learn and enjoy more dances to

do with your youth group.

Presenter: Don Washburn Room: Mirabella E & F

“The Best Workshop at Warmth in Winter"Description: Are you filled with the pressure of being The Best? Do you feel totally stressed out and

don't know what to do about? Do you feel that you have NO time? If any of these things apply to you in

your life, come to this workshop. We will be talking about all the pressure we have wrapped up in tryingto live out a type A personality when we just want to be ourselves. We will talk about how to deal with

stress and how to keep your head above water so that you can be The Best you can be while feeling good

about it.

Presenter: Jacob Fasig Room: Oakleigh A

Can’t We All Get Along?: Conflict among Christians“As long as there have been people there have been conflicts. And since Christians are people, too, it is

no surprise that even disciples of Jesus Christ butt heads, argue, and become divided. Come take a look

at some of the roots of conflict and some biblically-anchored ways of getting our heads together.”

Presenter: Bryan Brooks Room: Mirabella D

The Pilgrim’s Way: Thinking about pilgrimage as individuals, communities, and ministries.

We are a pilgrim people because we have hearts that will never rest; never be satisfied; never be

complete until we find the God who is at the core of all we desire and seek through this life. In addition,

this “life is a journey that we must travel with a deep consciousness of God”. (From the first letter of

Peter, Message translation).

Been thinking about how cool it might be to make a pilgrimage overseas to some “holy” places?

Been thinking about how cool it might be to take a group of young people or adults on that pilgrimage?

How a mission trip, lock-in, retreat, ski-trip, or even a Sunday night gathering might be more like a

pilgrimage than an event? On the other hand, how there must be a better way to live than racing through

the day at 80 mph? Then come for some conversation about The Pilgrim’s Way, an approach to mission

trips, retreats, weekly gatherings, and life as well as those intentional journeys that have traditionally

been called pilgrimage. Everyone is a pilgrim therefore anyone can make and lead a pilgrimage no

matter what its shape.

Presenter: Sally Chambers Room: Mirabella G

Living With Parents

Do you feel like your parents don't understand you? Do you avoid talking with them because it seems

they don't listen to you? Do you feel like they don't trust you and are always on your back? Do you wish

your relationship with them was better but don't know what to do? This seminar will explore many of

the reasons why it's hard as teenagers to live with our parents, understand how they tick, and a fewthings we can do to enjoy our relationship with them.

Both Sessions

Presenter: Jack Radcliffe Room: Cambridge B

Let Me Tell You a StoryLearning how to share your testimony in your everyday life. Sharing your faith is best done through

your relationship with others. Learn how to be a witness without preaching, but instead by being

yourself.

2nd Session Only

Presenter: Dietrich “Deech” Kirk Room: Mirabella I

ART in WorshipWe worship and serve a Creative God and He invites us to be creative. You don't need to think of

yourself as "artistic" to be able to pray through color and texture. We’ll use scripture and hands on

activities to create prayer through art and discover how art can reveal unexpected truths about yourself

and God. Come learn how to add art and creativity into your worship gatherings and your own life.

Presenter: Lilly Lewin Room: Oakleigh B




"What is Love?" & "What's Forever For?"Connect your faith to your favorite songs and find the answer to "What is Love?" The artists singing

through your iPod offer some solutions. The Bible does too. See how to connect your faith with your

playlist and develop a new way to share Christ with your friends. The one-hour seminar will show you

how to connect songs with texts. Opportunities will be available to share your own songs and earn free

downloads.

Presenter: James Dittes Room: Mirabella J

Session I: God’s Plan – The Ultimate Sex Life

Session II: Under Pressure – Why is it so hard to say “no?”The goal of this course is to help young people understand that their sexuality is a gift from God. Our

Creator has a plan for each person He created. He has planned out the sum of our days before even one

of them came to be. In Jeremiah 29:11, His word says: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares

the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Our purpose

is to lead young people to the truth that God’s plan includes our sexuality, and to help them come to the

conclusion on their own that saving sex for marriage is the best choice for them spiritually, emotionally,

and physically.

This is a double session

Presenter: Tammy Burrow Room: Mirabella H

Spidermen and SpiderwomenDeveloping a Web of Relationships to make faith stick

Many youth ministries fall apart when the youth directors leave. How many of our fabulous lessons do

relationships with mature Christian adults a student has in their church. Come explore how to develop a

web of relationships in your ministry!

SAFE for YOUth and METhere are so many times when we don’t think about how dangerous youth ministry can be until we get

into a potentially devastating situation. When youth are left at risk, then the youth worker is endangered

as well. Sometimes youth workers can be endangered by false accusations too. This workshop will help

you reduce the risk to yourself and to your youth.
