March Forth For Children

The Holston Conference of the United Methodist Church is sponsoring a two-day training event entitled March Forth for Children, Growing Faith-Full Children. The event will take place on March 7th and 8th at Cokesbury UMC in Knoxville Tn.

Breakout sessions will be offered in the areas of Worship, Christian Education, Missions & Social Justice, Family, Fun, and Safety. I will be presenting the two session below each day.

First session - Ministry and the Cyberspace Landscape. Blogs, wikis, podcasts and social networking are all part of the cyberspace landscape. In this session we will explore these and other new technologies discovering how they can be used in ministry. Learn about the potential challenges and how to safely implement them in ministry.

Second session - Cybersafety: Tending 21st Century Sheep
Cyberspace, just like the real world, holds dangers for children and adults. In this session we will
expose the dangers and explore tools and strategies for staying safe.

After the conference I'll post the presentations on this blog.
