PHYGITAL MINISTRY – A Whole Person Endeavor – Part 3

Presented by Revs. Ogun Holder and Kelly Isola

PART 3: Soulful Alignment – Empower the Community

In this third segment, we will cover some of the “heart” elements of ministry, the deep connecting, healing, powerful aspects of spiritual growth – for individuals and whole communities. We will continue to look at some trends and generational differences around what connection and healing means and looks like. Time will be spent diving deeper into unconscious assumptions of what being open and vulnerable means in person and online. Topics include:

• Making connections, relationship building online
• Innovative leadership shifts
• Use of rituals and contemplative practices online, and for those who prefer in person
• Reshaping our teaching and practices of being vulnerable online
• Creating an environment that is safe and brave for any topic, any person, at any time
• Designing fellowship time that invites people into an intentional spiritual practice
• Looking at our prayer practices, engaging digital prayer life, how do we practice it individually and collectively, fit within our broader prayer life and the physical church
