Discover the power of "time away!"
Break out of the congregational routine by branching into family camp and retreat ministry. Even if you're doubtful, Reconnecting Time will change your mind.
"In the harried milieu of modern life, we all cherish times specifically set aside to connect with God, to develop stronger relationships, and to build special memories together that are important to our faith journey," writes Kevin Witt, director of Camp and Retreat Ministries of the General Board of Discipleship. Reconnecting Time offers congregations ways to make those connections.
Very practical sections include:
- A Time to Begin: ABCs for Leading
- A Time to Plan: Examples, Samples, & More
- A Time to Dream: Exploring Possibilities
- A Time to Reflect: Top Ten Lessons
Craig offers the wisdom of more than 20 years of experience in congregational events. She discusses safety concerns, financial matters, theme development, dedication services, activity and camp evaluation. Her sample activities offer enough to start the flow of other creative ideas.
Few resources are available on this topic. This exhaustive book will lead you every step of the way in planning a successful event. "Reconnecting Time is truly a gift to church educators and programmers who have a passion for helping families become intentional about acknowledging the presence of God in their everyday lives," says one reviewer.
Pack your bags! But remember to read this book first!
