As most of you know, I’ve gotten very sick with Covid, but here are some of the details of a seminar we are hosting in nine days!
Pastoral Care & Cultural Chaos
Meeting Sexual Confusion with Grace and Truth
Since 2015, an enormous shift has taken place. An unprecedented percentage of youth find themselves somewhere on the LGBTQ+ rainbow. Those who even appear to disapprove can face alienation or cancelation.
Regardless of your denominational label, effective ministry in the next decade will require a clear theology of sexuality along with incredible grace to communicate it.
Here’s a rare opportunity to hear from one of the best!
Pastor Garry Ingraham, Director of Transforming Congregations, will be the guest speaker at Ashes to Life Ministries, July 8th, 8:30 till noon. This foundational training is interwoven with his own testimony of dealing with same-sex-attraction.
Our time will begin with a continental breakfast, so please RSVP at ongley1@yahoo.com. The training will be held at Ashes to Life Ministries (906 6th Avenue, Beaver Falls, PA).
There will be ample time for Q & A, and we will end with a love offering.
Here’s how others describe Garry’s work:
“Garry does a magnificent job of presenting God's heart for broken people, and God's promises of redemption and transformation."
Rev. Rob Renfro, Good News Magazine
“This man is indeed multi-talented and has a great story to share. The thing that is so great about him is that he shares everything with such grace that the truth of the Bible is easy to receive. What a resource for the Church!”
Rev. Branson Sheets, Covenant Church UMC, NC
“My purpose in having Garry come was to help our church know that we could maintain an orthodox belief as regards human sexuality, but love and reach out to the LGBT Community."
Pastor Gene Maddox, First UMC, Oneco, FL
