October 24-26, 2010 Join together with your colleagues as we seek to find community & rest together. Rev. Gary Gunderson, Deacon in Full Connection in the Memphis Conference will be our keynote speaker. The focus of the gathering will be on HEALTH, SPIRITUALITY, and WHOLENESS for those in full-time Ministry and for those we serve in ministry.
There will be time for fellowship with ministry colleagues from the diaconate, as well as Sabbath rest surrounded by the fall beauty of the Smoky Mountains & Lake Junaluska during one of the most beautiful times of year.
“Gary is a UM Deacon and a very engaging presenter; he always brings a deeply spiritual dimension to his event leadership.” Rev. Roger Dowdy, Director of Ministry & Event Development at Lake Junaluska Conference & Retreat Center
“Deacons share a commitment to service, to the healing of creation, to the shared ministry of laity & clergy, and supporting one another on the journey of faithfulness.” - A Deacon’s Heart: The New United Methodist Diaconate
Join us for "Deacons: Re-Presenting Christ...in the World, in the Church, in Worship."
