 <\/p>\n

We may be in a time of numerical decline among denominations, yet the church has a grand opportunity for spiritual deepening.\u00a0 Now is the time to reclaim the traditional path of discipleship\u2014through a faith formation process known as the Catechumenate.\u00a0 This ancient\/future way of learning and creating disciples invites us to hear one another\u2019s stories in the light of God\u2019s story.\u00a0 It is a baptismal journey with Jesus that is life-giving and transforming\u2014not only for individuals but for entire faith communities.<\/p>\n

You are invited to experience this simple yet profound way of making disciples at a Training Institute being held May 4-6, 2017 in Arden, North Carolina.<\/strong>\u00a0 The event for pastors, seminarians, and lay leaders is co-sponsored by Journey to Baptismal Living (NAAC) and the North Carolina Synod (ELCA).\u00a0\u00a0 Bring a team and be immersed in the movements and worship rites of the Catechumenate.\u00a0 Every participant receives a training manual and free copy of Go Make Disciples: An Invitation to Baptismal Living<\/em> (Augsburg Fortress) that will help you introduce this discipling process to your congregation.<\/p>\n

The Lutheran Church of the Nativity in Arden<\/strong>\u2014located near the Asheville airport\u2014is hosting the training institute.\u00a0 Because of a synodical grant, registration (including meals, program, and materials) is being offered at the low cost of $175 per person (or $125 to the first 25 people who register).\u00a0 Housing is available at the discounted conference rate of $89 per night at the nearby Mountain Inn and Suites Airport Hotel\u2014but rates are only guaranteed through April 4, 2017<\/strong> by calling 828-684-0040.<\/p>\n

Ready to welcome you in May are (left to right) Pastors Mark Fitzsimmons, Rachel Hoffman, and Greg Hoffman.<\/p><\/div>\n

Full scholarships<\/strong>\u00a0(including housing) are available for students\/seminarians.\u00a0 For more information contact Pastor Mark Fitzsimmons at\u00a0mfitzsimmons@nativityarden.org<\/a>\u00a0or call 828-684-0352.\u00a0 One can register online or download a brochure with registration form at the NAAC website:\u00a0www.catechumenate.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
