Saturday Workshops
Choose Elective A or B from each workshop below:-
Workshop One:
A. Community Projects – A Hospital Makeover
At this workshop you will hear about one of the many community transformation projects that the team at Edge Church have successfully project managed. You will learn about how to engage and network with other organisations and increase the influence of churches in the local community.
Women’s and Children’s Hospital (2007)
'The 2007 renovation of the Women’s and Children’s Hospital Paediatric Outpatient Area was a great success. The Outpatient area has over 250,000 people use this facility each year, with both children and staff greatly benefiting from this amazing transformation. The project involved 377 volunteers contributing from 16 different churches. We could not have achieved so much without the support of the volunteers and the businesses that donated their products and services. The Edge Foundation and Edge Church contributed a total of $61,000 in funds to support this project (total estimated project cost $350,000)'.
B. Dealing with Life Controlling Issues
This workshop will help you to engage with people struggling from a life controlling issue as you reach out to meet the needs of your community. In this workshop you will discover the four phases of the addiction cycle, how to identify these in someone you know and the affect these phases have on individuals. You will also learn about grief and loss - an underlying issue often associated with someone’s addiction or life controlling issue.
Workshop Two:
A. The Heart Beat of our Community
We live in amazing and exciting days. God is empowering His people - ordinary everyday people - to make an incredible difference in their community. It is time for God's people to rise and shine. People are being attracted to the light of God as we just stand in a lost world and radiate His love. Foundations are being laid across our city for lasting transformation to take place. Jesus needs you to truly be His Hands and His Feet in you circle of influence. You are called for greatness and for this moment! During this workshop the speaker will share some practical keys from her own journey.
B. The ‘How To’ of Evangelism
"There is no greater thrill than being part of the story that has led a friend from the pit to paradise". We all love to attend our churches, soak up some fellowship and feed on some teaching but for most of us, Monday rolls around and life just goes on. The majority of Jesus recorded ministry took place in the dusty world. What made Him so powerful in reaching his community? How did He get it so right? How on earth could we ever do the same? It's not as hard as you think! During this workshop you will explore some practical methods that you can use from Monday to Monday that will make a difference to the way you reach the lost.
