Giftedness Workshop "God has gifted each disciple in ways we are only beginning to discover," (Conway, Doty and Schaefer) and discovery of one's unique gifts can be a meaningful and rewarding experience. More importantly, finding ways to use those gifts in the kingdom-building process becomes a vital part of one's spiritual journey. The purpose of the Giftedness Workshop is to help disciples discover their gifts and identify specific ways to use them in the congregation and the larger community. "Discover and Share Your Gifts" is used as a resource for giftedness inventorying. The three-hour workshop generally follows the 11:00 worship service which includes a message on "The Sacredness of Our Gifts." For more information, contact Marcia Howard at (850) 968-2364.
