Discussing the issues that we are encountering as Islanders and those who ministers to the Islander Community as we work In a collaborate effort to meet the needs of Island-youth and families.

Understanding the kind of environment that
promotes healthy development of young people
is important. The Search Institute’s 40 Developmental
Assets are concrete, positive experiences and
qualities essential to raising successful young
people. This elective will provide an introductory
understanding of the asset framework.

Jesus answers this question in part through
teaching through parables. Why would we
celebrate a mustard seed? Why would we pay
people who show up late for work the same
as those who have been working all day?
Let’s imagine how Jesus’ teaching through
parables shape the way we see and do our ministry.

The gifts, grace and yes, the disappointments of being a single
female in ministry are real for so many of us. We play the role of
daughter, aunt, sister, pastor, leader, mentor and sometimes mom.
You are invited to join a conversation with other women about the
following questions in being a single in ministry:
• Where do I find support when I am busy caring for everyone else?
• Is this really what my life is going to be about?
