Ira Gallaway Lectureship
April 4 - 6, 2008
Our sixth annual Ira Gallaway Lectureship will be held April 4-6, 2008 with the Reverend Charles W. Anderson, Directing Pastor of the University United Methodist Church in San Antonio, Texas, as our guest lecturer and preacher. Our theme for the weekend is Finding Our Voice: Speaking of Jesus as a Community for the Community.
The Reverend Anderson will be addressing the following: “How do we tell others about Jesus within the context of our present lifestyles and church-styles? Once we have earned the right to speak, then what do we say and how do we say it?” |
