**********************************************************
Susan Briehl will lead sessions on "The Practice of Service" during the November 12-14, 2010, program.
The Sacred Practice Leadership Series (SPLS) is a joint venture of the Center for Renewal at Grand View University and the Alban Institute. SPLS (pronounced "splash") is designed for those who lead congregations, both in ordained and lay roles--in fact, we hope congregations will send both an ordained and a lay leader to the series to enhance the effectiveness of the series in the congregation. Six renewal events at the Sinsinawa Mound Center in southwest Wisconsin from April 2009 through November 2010 will feature twelve prominent authors and theologians who will speak on sacred practices like prayer, discernment, and service. By applying what is learned at the six events to their context, participants will grow in their ability to use sacred practices as a means of shaping their congregation's life and ministry. In short, participants will learn how to make God a more active player in the life of the congregation. For more information, visit www.sacredpracticeseries.org
