Care & Kindness Conference

||
The Federerated Church of Castleton, Vermont, hosted the most recent Care and Kindness Conference.
The conference, on October 19 & 20, included lay people, as well as a number of pastors from other local churches. They will in turn be able to pass on the Care and Kindness Campaign in their own locales. Music, plenary speakers and workshop speakers filled the conference with wonderful inspiration and delightful memories.
Jim Kok’s presentations were enthusiastically received, with many positive comments about his messages that were shared. He said we must appreciate people who are making the world a better place—that the spirit of Jesus is working through each of them, even if they do not acknowledge it in themselves. He emphasized Jesus’ words in the Lord’s Prayer: “on earth, as it is in heaven.” Jesus wants us to help bring the joy of heaven to people while they are still on this earth.
Workshop topics were “The Joy of Care and Kindness” (Jane LaBrutto), “Go Ahead...Inconvenience Me” (Beverly Carroll), “Just Visit” (Jean Britt), and “Following His Lead” (Ceil Hunt)
