What will make your heart sing?
CTS will hold an informational meeting about the 2013 Lilly Endowment Clergy Renewal Program for Indiana Congregations
Date: Thursday, November 8th, 2012
Time: 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Location: Shelton Auditorium at CTS, 1000 West 42nd St., Indianapolis, Indiana
The Lilly Endowment Clergy Renewal Program seeks to strengthen Indiana
congregations by providing opportunities for pastors to step away
briefly from the persistent obligations of daily parish life and to
engage in a period of renewal and reflection. Renewal periods are not
vacations, but times for intentional exploration and reflection, for
regaining enthusiasm and creativity for ministry, for discovering what
will make the pastor’s heart sing. Through funding from Lilly Endowment,
Christian Theological Seminary will provide grants of up to $50,000
each directly to Indiana congregations for the support of a renewal
program for their pastor.
Please RSVP for this information session by sending an email to Callie Smith at
