Kingdom Brought Near
Location : Dogwood 11-13

Intentional Kingdom Living In Your Context
Location : Dogwood 16-18
Lead : Scott Anderson
A typical week: classes, schoolwork, BCM, church, work, clubs, exercise, getting enough sleep, time with friends, personal hygiene, quiet time with God, running errands, calling mom...Oh and also, time permitting, I'd like to see God's kingdom come and His will be done. What does it mean to live in the pursuit of God's kingdom in light of our frantic and frazzled lives?
Kingdom Justice in the Way of Jesus
Location : Dogwood 19-21
Lead : Lisa Watson
Justice can feel overwhelming, divisive, or like something only other people know how to do. So what does it mean, and what can you actually do about it? In this workshop, we’ll explore what Scripture says about justice and why it reaches deeper than politics, even as it touches our public life. You’ll gain a framework for living out the way of Jesus as you pursue justice in your context. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of what justice is, a biblical foundation to stand on, and a concrete next step. No experience needed. Just come ready to learn and ask your questions.
The Kingdom of God Made Visible in Community
Location : Sigmon 30
Lead : Emma Hammond
The invisible kingdom of God is made visible to the world in the way we love one another - in our neighborhoods, homes and at our tables. During this breakout session we will identify characteristics of the kingdom revealed to us in scripture and get curious about how to apply that to our personal lives. Come ready to connect, share and open to where God might be inviting you to open up your home and your table!
BREAKOUT SESSION 1
Kingdom Identity
Location : Sigmon 31

Join this breakout to have time to draw, meditate and watercolor. As children of God, we were created to be creative. Using zentangles as a way to draw us into reflection on the Kingdom God is calling us to. No artistic skills required.
Jonah! A Dramatic Presentation
Location : Sigmon 32
Lead : Dr. Cal Robertson with Gardner-Webb
With minimal props, the group will dramatize the book of Jonah. All will participate. Discussion that follows will stem from what participants realized about the book of Jonah by way of dramatization that perhaps they had not before in terms of historical, literary, and theological aspects of the book. Finally, we’ll think about the book of Jonah’s contribution to our thinking about the Kingdom of God, including Jesus’ own reference to “the sign of Jonah.”
