The Christian Funeral: Theological Foundations and Practical Concerns 

A workshop designed for Commissioned Pastors, CP Learners, and Ruling Elders

April 26-27 (Friday-Saturday) in Sterling, CO

Cost: $25

What constitutes a "good" funeral? What concerns or fears do you have about leading a funeral service? What makes a funeral "Christian?" We'll be exploring these questions and many more during this workshop, led by Rev. Dr. Lyle Vanderboek and Rev. Amy Morgan. 

In our time together, we hope that experienced Commissioned Pastors will deepen their understanding and skills for leading funeral services in the congregations they serve. We also hope that CP learners will feel confidently prepared to enter into this ministry. Ruling Elders may be needed in some situations to provide funeral services, and we hope to equip those who feel called to this ministry. 

Please contact Bobbi to register for this event and reach out to Amy or Lyle with any questions. 

This event was made possible by grant funding from the Omaha Presbyterian Seminary Foundation and the Presbytery of Plains and Peaks.
