Marjorie Thompson, Spiritual DIrector for Companions in Christ
A 3-day leader training event for the Companions in Christ series is set for Thursday through Saturday, May 10-12 at Upper Room Ministries, 1908 Grand Ave, Nashville from 3:00 p.m. Thursday to 12:00 p.m. Saturday. Marjorie Thompson, Spiritual Director for Companions in Christ and author of Soulfeast: An Invitation to the Christian Spiritual Life, will lead. This training provides an in-depth experience in Companions in Christ resources and develops in participants the distinctive leadership skills called upon when leading formational groups. For information, call the Companions in Christ Training Office at 615-340-7525.
The Companions in Christ series from Upper Room Ministries brings a transforming small-group experience to congregations. Most in-depth Christian studies offer knowledge about scripture, prayer, or other areas of faith. The Companions in Christ series invites participants into a deeper experience of the Christian life. As the journey unfolds participants discover classic and contemporary spiritual practices that form rather than inform the participants and encourage them in inner and outward expressions of their faith.
Authors of the Companions series include Stephen D. Bryant, editor/publisher of Upper Room Ministries; Gerrit Scott Dawson, senior minister of First Presbyterian Church in Lenoir, N.C.; Adele J. Gonzalez, Assistant Director of the Office of Lay Ministry in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami, Fla.; E. Glenn Hinson, author and retired professor of spirituality at the Baptist Theological Seminary in Richmond, Va.; Rueben P. Job, a retired United Methodist bishop and former editor/publisher of The Upper Room; Marjorie J. Thompson, author and Spiritual Director of the Companions in Christ initiative in Nashville, Tenn.; and Wendy M. Wright, professor of theology at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb. The Author of The Way of the Child is Wynn McGregor, certified Christian educator in the Presbyterian Church, USA.
It is estimated that 10,000+ small groups from a variety of denominations and locales have experienced Companions in Christ since its release. The transforming impact this resource has in congregations caused one clergy to say, “this resource may be the future of the church”.
Those who attend the leader-training event will receive Companions in Christ resources essential for initiating Companions groups in their church.
Upper Room Ministries is an ecumenical organization that produces resources for encouraging deeper spiritual formation, including The Upper Room daily devotional guide, distributed to over two million people in 44 languages, five other magazines, a line of books, and programs for youth and adults.
