Altar-ing the Pastor's Sabbath
For many the Sabbath is a day of rest, a time to cease from one's daily toil and join the community of faith in worship. But what about the Seventh-day Adventist pastor, whose work throughout the week culminates and often revolves around the gathered body of believers on Sabbath morning? What is the pastor’s experience of the Sabbath? This presentation explores the very real spiritual challenges pastors face while ministering on the Sabbath and proposes options for navigating them.

Engaging the Net Generation
Evidence is mounting that today’s young people are different from previous generations. They behave differently because their brains have developed in ways functionally different to their parents. Since this ‘Net Generation’ grew up with the internet it is normative for them to create their own content, collaborate, innovate and build communities. This workshop will discuss the characteristics of the ‘Net Generation’ and how to engage them.
The Pastor’s Role in Creating the Worship Journey
Who decides the shape and form of a weekly church service? Is it the worship committee? The church board or, a worship leader? Is it any of these, all of these or none of these? In this workshop Dr. Gemmell will discuss the role of the Pastor in Creating the worship journey for a congregation.
