In today’s world of Zoom meetings, e-mails, online videos, and social media, there is a hunger for meeting in person. We experience the same need among the Michigan School of Missional Formation students, whether you are in the Classic Plus or Master of Arts Kairos program. To address this need, we have organized this Michigan School of Missional Formation gathering to afford the opportunity to come together in fellowship, learning, and growing in how we might serve the Lord more effectively. The main focus of the day will be group learning, centered around the practice of Case Studies (Critical Incident Reports). Throughout the day, we will listen to and interact with Kairos students who have prepared Case Studies. Plus, Rev. Dr. Rob Kasper will address the topic, “Ministry Formation through Embracing Theological Tension.”
Note to Master of Arts Kairos Students:
The Michigan School of Missional Formation Student Gathering is an opportunity to fulfill your requirement for the Community Reflection I outcome by preparing a Case Study to present. Please invite your Mentor Team. Also, if you are preparing a Case Study for this gathering, please check the appropriate box on the registration form. You may contact Dr. Rob Kasper, Rev. Ken Huner, or Deacon Al Renard for more details.
