There are two General Board of Discipleship courses that meet the
Discipline's requirements: "Lay Speaking Ministries: Youth Basic
Course", and "Lay Speaking Ministries Basic Course". The Discipline
doesn't differentiate between youth and other professing members of
the church, so either course is acceptable for anyone. Both are good.
"Lay Speaking Ministries Basic Course" is more academic, usually
delivered in 5 2- to 2.5-hour sessions, usually on a weekday evening
over 5 weeks. It can also be done as a 13-week Sunday School Series,
or three longer classes on a Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning.
"Lay Speaking Ministries: Youth Basic Course" is more social. Personal
witnessing is emphasized over preaching. Facilitated discussion
sessions interspersed with short readings, skits, and music are the
norm. It is usually delivered as a 10-hour Saturday retreat, but can
be done as a series of shorter sessions. Circuit 36 had great success
offering it as 4 breakout sessions on successive Saturdays meeting at
each of the participating churches independently, followed by a single
plenary session on the 5th Saturday meeting at Pewaukee. On the
breakout weeks, one church per week was assigned to make a lesson
video and post it on YouTube.
Tell us your preference of when, where, curriculum, and any other
ideas you might have.

I'm interested in the Lay Speaking basic course. I'm attending Oak
Creek Community UMC and didn't know about this forum and the Jan 20th
class.
If there are any other sessions for 2009, please advise.
Thank you,

I am very much interested in attending courses. I really would like
to attend in Oak Creek In June.
Unfortunately, I will be in Northern Wisconsin for a special event
with my wife on June 6.
But I will keep looking for a series that I can join. This is one of
my top goals for 2009.

Hi Tim,
I know that Paul, our minister at Oak Creek UMC, has also talked to our
circuit about putting on lay speaker classes sometime later this summer.
Will try to keep you posted. So sorry you can't make it on the 6th but
perhaps you can contact Rev. Karen Klatt at Palmyra UMC to make other
arrangements for catching up and joining us on the 20th. She is the one
holding the classes in Oak Creek. If I can be of more help, please let me
know!
