SUMMARY:Beyond the Breakwater Special Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Special Beyond the Breakwater Workshop—Thursday\, December 11\nPete Prochnow\, Director of Worship Arts & Community Engagement for the Michigan District\, invites you to join him for Beyond the Breakwater at Messiah Church in Midland. \nBeyond the Breakwater is all about mobilizing the church and caring for your community. After gathering at Messiah for an introduction to the philosophy behind the ministry\, you’ll spend time in the community to see it in action—gaining insight into the structure\, driving force\, and heart within Messiah’s ministry to the community. \nWe always encourage each attendee to make a return trip and bring others with you so they can experience for themselves what it means to go beyond the breakwater. Not only that\, but those returning will gain new insights as well. This is an excellent opportunity for that return trip. Why? \nThis special Beyond the Breakwater on Thursday\, December 11\, offers a special opportunity: a hands-on workshop experience. The day begins with a presentation\, followed by visits to Messiah’s various ministries\, where you’ll see the principles you’ve learned in action. Then\, here’s the special add-on: you’re invited to stay for a one-time annual event called Parent Shopping Night—a cherished Messiah ministry event where families can purchase brand-new toys for pennies on the dollar\, ensuring every child wakes up to a gift on Christmas morning. \nAs a guest\, you’ll get to simply observe\, learn\, and have those divine moments with those in our community that we serve by simply getting the pleasure to care for and love on them—no planning\, pressure\, or logistics\, just a chance to witness a unique\, replicable model of community ministry. \nParent Shopping Night is 6-8 p.m.\, with volunteers (that’s you) starting at 4 p.m. Plan for a late night and long day\, but a day that you’ll leave never being the same.
