Formational Prayer Seminar

We are pleased to announce that Terry has set aside April 25-28, 2012, for a Formational Prayer Seminar to be offered at Heritage Christian Church. Dr. Wardle defines formational prayer as “the ministry of the Holy Spirit, moving through a Christian caregiver, bringing the Healing Presence of Jesus Christ into the place of pain and brokenness within a wounded person.” This seminar will provide training for caregivers in the following areas:

• Gaining tools for addressing dysfunctional behaviors
• Developing sound techniques for emotional healing
• Teaching steps for dealing with deep wounds
• Presenting information on spirituality and worldview as each relates to helping the broken
• Demonstrating pathways that help people dismantle destructive false beliefs
• Equipping caregivers for good self care

The normal cost of the seminar is $475 for four days of teaching and hands-on experience but Heritage members can participate in the April training for only $375.

Because the event is at Heritage local participants will experience significant savings:

• Save the cost of traveling to Ashland and a lot of time
• Save the cost of hotel accommodations
• Save the cost of eating out each day

This is a great opportunity for anyone from central Ohio who would be interested in this awesome ministry!

To reserve your spot, it’s important to put down a deposit of $125 by January 31. 2012. You can pay by credit card or check. Final balance is due at the seminar. There is a $25 fee for cancellations. The deposit is non-refundable after March 20, 2012. Click here to register and to have the opportunity to pay online.

The Healing Journey

Beginning the second week of January, we are offering a 6-week event for men and women that will address six key areas related to spiritual growth. It’s called The Healing Journey and the following people will be the presenters:

Jan. 14 - Core Longings and Healing Deep Wounds (Presenter: Joel Wharton)

Objective: To help participants learn about the deep longings common to us all and how we often try to meet these deep needs in ways that are ultimately destructive. To introduce participants to a model for understanding how the pain of the past can still affect us today.

Jan. 21 - God’s Love and Our Identity (Presenter: Andy Sieberhagen)

Objective: To help participants identify destructive caricatures of God, and then, by the Father’s grace, replace them with the truth of His love and care.

Jan. 28 - Dealing with Dysfunction (Presenter: Jim Zippay)

Objective: To help participants begin to address the dysfunctional behaviors they have adopted.

Feb. 4 - Emotions – Can You Trust Them? (Presenter: Eric Wharton)

Objective: To help participants learn to identify feelings, express them appropriately, and look beneath them to the underlying beliefs that generate emotional upheaval.

Feb. 11 - The Truth Will Set You Free (Presenter: Andy Sieberhagen)

Objective: Participants will learn to identify false beliefs that are destructive and renounce those lies, and then, by the power of the Holy Spirit, embrace their new identity in Jesus Christ.

Feb. 18 – How Can I Forgive? (Presenter: Bob Buchan)

Objective: Participants will review the biblical admonition to forgive and the role it can play in the healing process.

These events will occur from 8:00 am - 9:30 am on Saturday mornings. The format is simple: We will have a teaching from the above individuals and then have break-out sessions with men meeting with men and women with women for discussion and prayer.
 
There is no charge for this event but it’s important to let us know you’re coming. You can register by clicking here. If you have questions, feel free to contact Becki Brown. 

We hope to see you there!
