9:00 AM ET Open with our traditional Failte prayer ceremony to welcome one another and any new comers to our gathering.

We will continue directly into our morning discussions about ministry and the many ways it is discovered and developed. We will have several individuals scheduled to share their personal experience and there will be plenty of time for questions too. The hope is that by sharing we will encourage one another at whatever stage of ministerial life one finds oneself.
