Advanced Lay Speaking Class

[JanV...@aol.com]

I have two people in Racine that would like to take on Advanced Lay speaking class in one of these three classes:  Lay Speakers Preaching,  From Your Heart to Theirs - Delivering an Effective Sermon, or Lay Speakers Tell Stories. Is there anyone who could teach one of these classes and are their other people who would like to improve their preaching skills?

I don't know about teaching - but I'd love to take these classes as well.  I so teach adult Christian education classes and I would be interested in learning what it would take to be able to teach lay speaking classes as well.

I am the Ministry Team Coord. at Salem UMC in Waukesha and would also like to know what it takes to teach classes.  I would really enjoy being able to do this.  I have a Master's Degree in Education with several years of teaching, and over seven years working in the church.  Could we set up a class?

You may definitely deliver a class. Any one who can follow a book can
facilitate a class using a General Board of Discipleship curriculum.
Those with any teaching experience, including children's Sunday
school, are invited to do so.

We aren't limited to GBoD curricula, either. If you know of a good
class on Robert's Rules of Order, for example, that might well qualify
as an advanced class. The Conference Committee on Lay Servant
Ministries is considering much more broadly defining acceptable
courses, by rile rather than list, to include things like the Disciple
series. That also means that courses offered by other agencies might
well qualify. School of Christian Mission courses, if they are
(currently) at least 10 hours long, qualify as advanced courses.
College courses in an appropriate subject would qualify. Karen Klatt's
advanced preaching course is a condensation of a course taught at
Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary.

You may definitely design a class. As we Rethink Church, we will need
to do this much more. New models of evangelism, outreach, and worship
will require training. You might not want to design from scratch,
though. UMCom has online courses that could stand alone, and some the
would be good core components with supplementation.

While this post applies to any Lay Servant, it most particularly
applies to those who are already in Christian education, and
especially to those who are Directors of Christian Ed. Shall we get
organized as a group, even if only informally? Maybe a picnic or
something?

If the Holy Spirit is calling you to teach, I will help you in any way
I can.

Your servant in Christ,
