Thailand Travel Course
God has been working in all places among all peoples. He invites the followers of Jesus to be peacemakers, agents of reconciliation, to embody what new life in Christ means to every culture. Many times we have been slow to learn from history and risk repeating the mistakes of the past. We want to change that. Join us as we learn from this theme being presented at the SEANET conference. On our way to Thailand, we will a stop in Seoul, to celebrate the New Year. Along with stops in Bangkok and NE Thailand, we will then end in Chiang Mai for this conference. Dates of Travel: Sunday, December 30-Saturday, January 12. For more information contact cwcs@northpark.edu for an application.

Save the Date: Christmas Party
The Seminary community Christmas party will take place on December 3rd. We will begin at 5pm with caroling and then follow with dinner. Please plan to join us- all students, faculty, staff and families are invited
Faith and Health Symposium: Being Well
The church has an important role in helping people be well, in addition to caring for the sick. Now more than ever, the church needs to claim its role in health promotion rooted in Scripture and tradition and our communities need to create opportunities for wellness for all. Working together, congregations and healthcare professionals can collaborate in responding faithfully to the challenge of health promotion, considering what can be done together that neither can do alone.
Join us November 10, 2018 at North Park University for third biennial symposium. This year’s keynote address will be “honoring the Body as a Spiritual Practice” by Ruth Haley Barton.
