Alexandria Area Clergy Experience 2020

Our group of 4 clergy and Wes started in May and finished their 3 sessions together at the end of August.  After letting the beginning of the church year settle down we finished our individual sessions in October.  The group knew each other from other clergy groups but developed even deeper connections through these sessions.  We learned together, questioned and discussed together, and experienced God's power through prayer with and for each other.  Listen to the video interviews below and hear their reflection on the Clergy Experience.  In the picture from left to right: Gary Taylor, Wes Johnson, Kali Christensen, Steve Koehne, Mark Bateson.

Immersion Weekend

October 27-29, 2017

We had a great weekend of learning, worship, and Holy Spirit transformations and blessings.  There were a total of 17 participants with several testifying to the dynamic work of the Holy Spirit in their lives.  Some shared of the encouragement they felt to seek more of the Holy Spirit leading their lives and others of the growth they felt with a fuller understanding of God's abundant love for them.  We had participants praying for deliverance, the healing of a marriage relationship, and for the filling of the Holy Spirit.  The photos below were from the Saturday sessions and lunch and supper times.  There also were evening worship services that including time to pray specifically for the Holy Spirit transforming work along with sharing in the John Wesley Covenant Service.  We ended with a combined worship of  the Red Rock and Jeffers United Methodist Churches on Sunday morning and closed with an all-church meal and sharing time.
