  • CIAMinistries “Is prayer a monologue or a dialogue? Are we prepared for clear communication from God?” -Mitch Wilburn #CMUW

  • WesWoodell #CMUW “When does God’s power reach the church? When they were working, or waiting?”

CMU Workshop Tomorrow!

I always look forward the Campus Ministry United Workshop, and this year is no different.

Here’s a description from the official literature:

Since 2006, ministry leaders have taken a few days in July to gather together on the campus of Harding University to fellowship with one another and to sit at the feet of men and women actively engaged in the battle for the world’s university campuses.

The Campus Ministry United Workshop (CMUW) is the premiere enrichment resource for mission-minded campus ministries serving Churches of Christ. Campus ministers, students, elders – anyone interested in effective campus ministry – will benefit from CMUW content. All are welcomed to attend.

I’ll be tweeting from this event at #CMUW beginning tomorrow night, and, as always, all lessons will be posted online for free after the workshop is over on the CMU Audio Page and on this blog.

If you’re part of a Church of Christ campus ministry and are missing this time of fellowship, then you’re missing out!

p.s. – has WordPress gone stupid? I can’t seem to resize images in the editor anymore, and all my previous posts with images in them have the pictures at full size now … any other WordPress bloggers know what’s going on? Am I the only one having this problem?
