53rd Weekend 2001
June 1-3

Featured speaker: The Reverend Joseph Russell, church educator, liturgist, and conference leader in the Episcopal Church in the US.

A gifted story-teller who will share with us how to 'Put Life in our Worship and Worship in Our Lives'. He will provide us with an opportunity to explore the power of worship to form Christians in every generation. He will share with us how we are formed in story, in prayer and sacrament and praise, in Word and poetic imagery, and in the whole life of the worshipping community.

Rev'd Joseph P. Russell is a well known church educator, liturgist and conference leader in the Episcopal Church. He is co-author of "Aslan on the Move" (Leader Resources), author of "Sharing Our Biblical Story: A Guide to Using Liturgical Readings as the Core of Church and Family Education", editor of "The New Prayer Book Guide to Christian Education", and wrote the "Daily Lectionary: A Weekly Guide for Daily Bible Readings."
