Becoming the Story We Tell: A Training in the Adult Catechumenate

Becoming the Story We Tell: A training in the Adult Catechumenate will be held from Friday evening, October 6to Saturday afternoon, October 7, 2017 at Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church.

This ecumenical training event is for church leaders seeking a way to welcome seekers and newcomers to the church.  This event will explore the ancient Catechumenate now being revived in the contemporary church.

Reverend Dan Benedict will lead us in considering how “we become the story we tell” as we explore the stages of the Catechumenate process and experience its elements and worship rites in both large group and small group venues.  This event is recommended for teams of two or more from your congregation – pastors, musicians, lay leaders, and staff responsible for adult faith formation.  You will be provided training and resources needed to begin a catechumenate in your congregation or enhance one already in process.
