Kudos to the BASS Church Workers Convention
March 4, 2007 |
We had a wonderful time at BASS. All of my workshops were full, some to overflowing. It was such a delight to minister to so many pastors and lay people who are so committed to serving and equipping others. BASS is one of the largest church worker conventions in the nation with an attendance of over 3000. It reflects the delightful diversity of the Body of Christ not only in ethnic groups, but also in denominations, types of ministry and age of participants. It’s totally volunteer run organization. Coordinator Mary Larson has done a wonderful job making sure that everything runs smoothly. We were blessed and encouraged by general session speakers John Townsend, Paul Sheppard, and Francis Chan. Don Moen led worship, supported by the multi-church BASS Praise Team led by Kathy Anthony. What a wonderful time of cross-pollination, encouragement, and stimulation.
I taught three workshops in the counseling track on Friday and three in the small groups track on Saturday. I’ll include some of the thoughts and key points here over the next few months. CDs will be available from OT Studios in a week or so.
