SUMMARY:Certified Lay Minister Course: Mosaic of Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Expand your prayer ministry with this Certified Lay Ministry worship\, Mosaic of Prayer\, on April 11 from 10 am to 4 pm. We will explore obstacles to effective prayer\, as well as listening prayer\, abiding prayer\, journaling prayer\, poetry prayer\, intercessory prayer in multiple layers\, healing prayer\, praying the Scripture\, and other prayer practices. The goal is to learn many types of prayer to create “tools in your toolbox” when you feel a need to “change up” your prayer practices. Some prayer practices come easily to us\, and others may stretch us. We need to engage in both. This workshop will expand your options and equip you with prayer “tools” that you can easily share with others in your own church setting. Prayer is a relationship with the living God through Jesus Christ. If you want to deepen your relationship\, then deepen your knowledge of prayer practices\, try them\, and be transformed for His glory.\n\nCourse Requirements: \n\nBefore Workshop: Read Lord Teach me to Pray and Throne Room Prayer. Write a one-page reflection on each.\nAfter Workshop: Share ( one page max) anything you learned at the mosaic workshop and what interested you about it\, a practice you are willing to try following the workshop\, and any book you intend to read to learn more.\n\nCLM Course Credits: The Certified Lay Minister status is a lay status granted to individuals who feel called to serve in the local church and beyond\, though not in a clergy role. The Mission & Evangelism Course will be considered a specialized course for the Certified Lay Minister certification. You can learn more about the Certified Lay Minister program here. \n\nInstructor: Rev. Dr. Carolyn Mash King\n\nRequired Reading:\n\n“Lord\, Teach Us To Pray” Margie Burger (138 pages)\n“Throne Room Prayer” Brian & Candice Simmons (197 pages)\n\nSuggested for Further Study:\n\n\n“Extraordinary Hearing: Preparing Your Soul to Hear From God” Greg Pruett\n“Prayer” A. W. Tozer\n“Praying in Color” Sybil MacBeth\n“Pathways To A Praying Church” Margie Burger (contact Aldersgate Renewal Ministries)\n“Sacred Breath: Forty Days of Centering Prayer” J. David Muyskens\n“Whole Prayer” Walter Wangerin\n\n\nRegistration: This course has a $20 enrollment fee. Questions? Contact Dr. Carolyn Mash King at midsouthprayer@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Releasing Prayer Conference
DESCRIPTION:Come expectant to encounter the living God at the Releasing Prayer Conference on November 15th—a day set apart for worship\, teaching\, prayer\, and healing in the power of the Holy Spirit. This gathering is designed for both men and women who long to step deeper into God’s presence\, hear His voice\, and experience release from anything that hinders them from walking in freedom. Through Spirit-led sessions\, worship\, and prayer\, you will be equipped and refreshed to live more fully in the supernatural life Jesus promised.\n\n\nAgenda \n8:15 AM – 8:45 AM Doors Open/Registration \n8:45 AM – 9:30 AM Worship & Message \n9:30 AM – 10:45 AM Session 1: Select from 1 of 2 Session Options (See below) \nSession 1\, Option 1: “My Journey from Natural to Supernatural Living” with Jeff Rogers \nFor the past 12 years\, Jeff has led Wellspring Prayer Center\, where thousands have experienced the Lord’s faithful touch bringing spiritual\, emotional\, and physical healing. Though raised in a Word-based church\, Jeff’s understanding of who Jesus is—and what He continues to do—was transformed as he came to truly know that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday\, today\, and forever. In this session\, Jeff will invite you into his journey of moving from a natural mindset to a supernatural walk with God\, offering encouragement and insight for living in the fullness of Christ’s promises. \nSession 1\, Option 2: “Talking to God” with Brooke Harris \nMany long to hear God’s voice well\, but don’t quite know how to listen. We often become distracted by our own minds or our to-do list. Come and learn practical steps of hearing from God and living into Jesus’ call: “My sheep hear my voice\, and I know them\, and they follow me” (John 10:27). Participants will practice creative exercises\, journaling\, and listening prayer to hear God’s voice. \n10:45 AM – 11:00 AM Break \n11:00 AM – 12:15 PM Session 2: Select from 1 of 2 Session Options (See below) \nSession 2\, Option 1: “A Deeper Letting Go” (option 1) with Carolyn Mash King \nJoin us for a time of breaking off old chains. We will be using several journaling exercises (balloons\, manna\, and jugs on an altar) to equip participants with tools for “letting go” and surrendering all to the God who loves us in the power of the Holy Spirit. \nSession 2\, Option 2: “Prayer as the Prophet\, Priest and King” with Nancy Cornell \nWe are part of a kingdom of priests under our God\, to which Jesus is the High Priest according to the Order of Melchizedek (Rev 1 and Heb 5). This unique priesthood gives us a power in prayer that we sometimes don’t realize. This session is to show us the power of the Prophet\, Priest\, and King to which we have received the anointing of His power through prayer! \n12:15 PM – 1:30 PM Lunch & Individual Prayer Time (Participants are invited to stop by the prayer room for individual prayer during this time.) \n1:30 PM – 2:45 PM Session 3: Select from 1 of 2 Session Options (See below) \nSession 3\, Option 1: Release and Renew with Christie Berty \nStep into a sacred space where art and faith meet to bring deep healing and spiritual renewal. We’ll journey through Scripture—anchored in Hebrews 11 and Romans 8 (TPT)—to release pain\, trauma\, and fear\, and make room for the renewing power of the Holy Spirit. Through guided reflection\, visual expression\, and Spirit-led creativity\, you’ll move from old mindsets into the promises of God. Using simple materials\, we’ll create layered art pieces that visually represent your journey from pain to promise. No artistic experience is necessary—just a heart open to encounter God’s love\, freedom\, and the beauty of being made new. \nSession 3\, Option 2: Loving Well With Boundaries with Jill Steele \nMost people admit they struggle with saying “no” in certain situations. However\, creating and sustaining a culture of love must be built on the intentional practice and respect of godly boundaries. In this workshop\, participants will learn how to establish and nurture an environment of loving well while maintaining healthy boundaries for meaningful relationships. \n2:45 PM – 3:00 PM Break \n3:00 PM – 4:30 PM Worship\, The Word\, Prayer & Communion: Prayer service for Impartation & Healing
