Last summer, Pasadena EP Church hosted a conference on mercy ministry. Dr. David Apple from Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia was our speaker. He gave two talks: The ABCs of Mercy Ministry and How to deal with cold calls and walk-ins. Unfortunately we didn’t save the recordings properly so we can’t post them here (though there are some related recordings from Dr. Apple here).
Next month, Tenth Presbyterian and MercyNet will be hosting two sessions on Mercy Ministry at Westminster Seminary (Van Til Hall, Church Road, Glenside, PA). Here is some more information:
What is Mercy Ministry (Sat, Oct 6)?
- The essential work of the deacon
- The type and scope of ministry
- Word and Deed Together
- There is no mercy without evangelism
What is a Trauma Deacon (Sat, Oct 27)?
- We can figure this out, right?
- Managing ministry effectively
- Learning to work smarter
- What other churches are doing
According to the brochure, these sessions are for deacons, elders, future elders, Christian servants, those with the gifts of service and mercy, and those who have “retired to serve”. For more information, contact David Apple (dapple at tenth dot org).
