Next Step Workshop

I love the Next Step format because of the flexibility we have as we learn together. Please understand, we will plan to start on time for each session. But, we will plan to not end on time for all the sessions. Our desire is to help our participants to work through various concepts and exercises that will really be beneficial. We’re not going to try to run on a mandatory timeline. This is not a conference where numerous classes are beginning and ending at the same time. This is not a conference schedule that has to run to the minute. This is a learning opportunity where we can spend some personal time together and really dig into some areas of clowning and ministry that we often don’t have time to focus on. Here’s a preliminary sample schedule:

As a Next Step staff, we do ask that all attendees commit to be at the Next Step experience through our Sunday morning services and not leave early. It helps in our Sunday morning ministry if each one is a part of the "team".
