SUMMARY:Friday Pastor Prayer Meetings
DESCRIPTION:At the BRN\, we teach healthy churches to filter all of their activities through the filters of the Kingdom of God and Prayer. Kingdom keeps our focus on the glory of the King instead of our own fame. Prayer keeps us in a humble posture before our King so that He might direct our steps. To that end\, BRN pastors are invited to join a weekly prayer meeting via Zoom. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/9078251336?omn=89750957132\nMeeting ID: 907 825 1336\nPasscode: 0692 \n“Continue steadfastly in prayer\, being watchful in it with thanksgiving” (Colossians 4:2).

SUMMARY:REVIVE! Christ and His Church Virtual Conference
DESCRIPTION:God has a purpose for every church. There is much that He wants to do through each church. However\, it has been our experience that God gives each church and its leaders “crossroads moments” in their history where they must make decisions based on faith if they are to continue to be used to fulfill the purposes God has in mind for them. It has also been our experience that the current health of any church is a summation of the decisions made over many years.\nFeaturing Richard Blackaby and Mark Clifton\nBlackaby Ministries International (BMI)\, in partnership with the North American Mission Board\, is excited to bring “REVIVE: Christ and His Church” to the Baptist Resource Network of PA/SJ! Dr. Richard Blackaby\, author and president of Blackaby Ministries International\, and Dr. Mark Clifton of NAMB’s Legacy Church Planting will unpack several significant truths from the “Flickering Lamps” and “Reclaiming the Glory” books as well as from their extensive ministry with pastors and churches. \n \nThe virtual conference will begin at 8:30 am and conclude at 12:30 pm. \nThe cost of $10 includes the two featured books. \nWhether your church is experiencing positive spiritual health or finds itself struggling\, it is vitally important to be oriented to the Headship of Christ. We encourage you to set aside time to attend the entire gathering in September\, determined to park your heart before God\, allowing Him to speak to you in fresh and transforming ways. Bring several of your key leaders as well so that together\, you can experience God’s heart for you and your church! \nTestimonies from precious conference attendees:\nThe overwhelming response from the pastors was that they felt that every pastor in our association needed to hear what Richard Blackaby and Mark Clifton had to share. The Biblical challenge delivered by Richard Blackaby was powerful! The practical insights from Mark Clifton pertaining to the “nuts and bolts” of church revitalization was extremely insightful. The message of the Revive Conference is one that needs to be delivered to the church in North America! \nRevive\, there couldn’t be a more perfect name for this one day conference. I came expecting to get some good information on how to revive my congregation\, which I received\, but I came away with so much more. I came away with my own soul being revived. \nThe main thing I brought back with me from the conference was hope. \nSchedule/Topics:\n8:30–9:30 a.m.: Welcome from Barry Whitworth followed by Message by Richard Blackaby: \n “Christ’s Presence in the Church” – What difference does it make in the spiritual health of every church when we recognize and celebrate the presence of the Risen Christ in and among us? \n9:45–10:45 a.m.: Message by Mark Clifton \n “10 Attitude Adjustments Struggling Churches Must Make to be Healthy and Effective” – Mark will address essential areas of focus that pastors/church leaders can address to see the church move from being plateaued or in decline to renewed life and spiritual vitality. \n11:00–11:30 a.m.: 30 minutes of Q/A with Richard Blackaby/Mark Clifton \n11:45 a.m.–12:30 p.m.: Message by Richard Blackaby \n“Taking Your Leadership to the Next Level” – What more does God have in mind for your life as a leader that will  both honor Him and bless those you lead? God always wants to take our lives as leaders to the next level – what could that look like for your life as a leader? \nPlease note: Registration will close at 100 people. \n  \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:'Return to Me: A Spiritual Process for Church Revitalization' with Claude King
DESCRIPTION:Pastors\, church leaders\, revitalization coaches\, prayer leaders — You will not want to miss this opportunity to hear from Claude King as he shares Return to Me: A Spiritual Process for Church Revitalization. \n“A revived church is the only hope for a dying world.” — Andrew Murray \nClaude King writes: “Plateaued\, declining\, and lukewarm churches need a spiritual revitalization\, not just a cosmetic fix. Examine a new tool and biblical process to guide your church to hear and respond to what the Spirit is saying to the church. Help your church Love God\, Love Others\, Surrender All\, Be Transformed\, Join God’s Mission\, and Glorify God as they return to Him. He’s given an invitation and made a promise: “‘Return to Me\, and I will return to you\,’ says the Lord of Armies.” (Malachi 3:7). \nClaude King will be sharing Wednesday\, February 19\, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm at the BRN Hub. \nRegistration is free\, and includes lunch and a copy of King’s newest book Return to Me: God’s Invitation and Promise to His Church (one per church). \n  \nRegister Now \n  \nIf overnight accommodations in the Volunteer House are needed (available on a First Come\, First Served basis)\, please contact the Helpdesk at helpdesk@brnunited.org. \nAbout Claude King\nClaude King\, discipleship and church health specialist for LifeWay Christian Resources. Photo by Shannon Baker\nClaude King currently serves as discipleship and church health specialist at LifeWay Christian Resources. He and his wife Reta are natives and current residents of Murfreesboro\, Tennessee. After attending school in New Orleans\, Claude began work as an editor at the Baptist Sunday School Board (now LifeWay) in Nashville\, Tennessee. After a writer cancellation\, he coauthored his first book (“WiseCounsel: Skills for Lay Counseling” with John Drakeford) out of sheer necessity to meet a deadline. He met and began working with Henry Blackaby in 1986. That relationship led to their developing “Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God” which was first released in 1990. The popularity of that book led to opportunities to write others\, first with Blackaby and then with a number of other authors. His special contribution to many of those resources has been his style of interactive writing that engages a learner in understanding and applying truths from a message to his or her life. In his current job at LifeWay\, he speaks\, leads workshops and seminars\, and consults with pastors and church leaders to help them and their churches obey Jesus Christ’s final command to make disciples of all nations. \nRelated article: PrayerLink asks God for workers for the Harvest

SUMMARY:Racial Unity Cohort
DESCRIPTION:A cohort of 12 pastors (African American and Anglo) have gathered for over two years to work on racial reconciliation and racial unity. The long period of gathering together allowed them to develop a culture of trust with one another. Participants admit\, at first\, there was a lot of ignorance and arrogance on all sides\, but ultimately the pastors developed a deep love for one another\, similar to how Jesus Christ loves the church. \nAs a result of the discussions\, there is a new initiative to encourage the partnership of churches from different backgrounds called Mansion Hope\, a joint effort by the pastors to reach the underprivileged community of Strawberry Mansion with the gospel. \nThere are also plans to convene a similar cohort in the western region\, and for new cohorts to be started with the other ethnic groups that make up our big\, beautiful and diverse Baptist Resource Network family. \nPlease Note: These meetings are by invitation only.
