Ballroom A: Mission Project: Christmas Cards for People in Prison
Imagine being away from your loved ones for Christmas. No tree. No gifts. No family meal. Members of the Prison Ministries and Restorative Justice Team in Eastern PA and Greater NJ will lead a time of learning, discussion and writing Christmas cards for people experiencing incarceration. Groups will be able to drop in or come and go to participate in this brief project.

Ballroom B: Go & Flow: Integrating Faith and Movement in Everyday Life
This workshop invites participants to dive deeper into the intersection of faith and physical practice. We will explore how the teachings of Matthew 28:16-20, particularly the call to "Go," can be embodied through the mindful movement of yoga. Participants will engage in guided yoga sessions, reflective practices and guided discussions to explore how movement, breath, meditation and prayer can be used as a spiritual discipline that supports living out their faith in their daily lives, carrying the message of the Great Commission into the world with intention and grace.

Ballroom C: Youth Leader Workshop: All Things About Ministry with Volunteers with Chris Wilterdink
The more volunteers and supporters you have in youth ministry, the lighter the loads of planning and responsibility feel. Maintaining relationships with existing volunteers is an underappreciated aspect of youth ministry. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to identify potential volunteers, develop the four essential elements of defining a volunteer position, how to support the life cycle of a volunteer, establish ways to help volunteers evaluate their effectiveness, recognize the needs for training, and create effective means to show your appreciation for their generosity.
