SCHEDULE FOR SACRAMENTO

Resucing Students Who Are Bored with God
(Seminar Series #4)
Oct 12 1:30 PM-3:00 PM
Sacramento

We want our students to have a passionate love for Christ, yet many of them do not. We have young people who know it all, but don’t do much with what they know. They’ve heard the truth, experienced God’s presence, and been surrounded by great Christian community—yet their faith is weak. They don’t deny Christ; they just don’t live for him. This session will highlight the dangers and symptoms of spiritual apathy and will provide tactical steps for rescuing those who are floating in their faith.

The Internet: More Than Just a Resource, It Is an Opportunity
(Seminar Series #5)
Oct 12 3:30 PM-5:00 PM
Sacramento

If teenagers need to research history, they’ll run to the Internet. If they want to know what time the movie starts or what the weather will be, they run to the Web. And where are they going to find spiritual answers or to ask life’s most difficult questions? They’re going to the Internet. When we understand the opportunities that exist there—not just to post content, but also to engage dialogue—we’ll truly be crossing over the cultural barrier and touching lives.

Virtual Worlds and Online Communities: What We Can Learn About Students from Their Internet Interests
(Seminar Series #6)
Oct 13 9:00 AM-10:30 AM
Sacramento

Young people are gathering on the Internet en masse. They spend hours interacting with people on forums, chat rooms, virtual worlds, and gaming sites. Why? What needs are being met in these cyberworlds that are being ignored in a tangible one? As youth ministers we can learn a great deal about teenagers’ interests, perspectives, and needs by critically examining their Internet activities and diets.
