A CONFERENCE PRESENTED BY

THE DIOCESE OF SPRINGFIELD

 

More Than Words….Reclaiming the Vitality of the Early Church

 

My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power. ( I Corinthians 2:4-5 )

 

Conference Overview

The Early Church was VITAL.  It was filled with excitement and wonder.  The Apostles proclaimed a powerful gospel message that was demonstrated with acts of healing and transformation.  This conference looks at how we can “reclaim” a similar excitement today.  We will focus primarily on the grace of God for healing as expressed on our sacrament of Holy Unction. The teachings will be followed by practicums where participants can learn first hand.
