Clergy Renewal Program Informational Meeting

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 csmith@cts.edu or by calling 317-931-4225.

Pastors are encouraged to bring their spouse and a representative of the congregation.
