“Lead On!”

NHLC 2012 Workshops

The Game Spot (Megan Gruber and Colson Shradar)

The purpose of this workshop on small and large group games is to create a relaxed environment to learn the structure of games, as well as how to effectively lead the games. Join us to learn how to be a better leader for the games presented at your Happening!

Your Electronic Self (Brian Moody and Wingate White)

In this workshop on internet safety, internet responsibility and how your electronic signature should be an image of yourself, we will discuss the positive and negative effects on the use of social networking media in your own Happening community.

Reunion Workshop (Betsy Cobb, Davis Schneider and Stockton Williams)

The reunion workshop will present ideas about Happening related programs to experience after the happening weekend.

Servant Leadership (Bob Bjorklund and Chandler Whitman)

Do you ever feel like Happening is more for the staff than the Happeners? Have you ever heard the phrase, “you haven’t really happened, until you’ve staffed happening?” Happening is a weekend experience designed for those who are going through the program for the first time. The weekend can be the most spiritually moving for the participants when the staff members lead from a place of servanthood based completely on the growth of the Happeners. Join us at this workshop to learn about servant leadership, as well as receive ideas and tools to use in your own staff trainings.

Love Out Loud (Thomas Greneker and Davis Schneider)

Come share and learn the different ways to experience and create music during a Happening weekend. Both musicians and non-musicians are welcome.

Creative Worship (Krisan Lamberti and Stockton Williams)

Worship is the act of devotion and adoration we show to God.  It is the process of being open to God’s presence in a communal situation.  When done creatively, worship uplifts the spirit and energizes our whole being.  Come join us to learn tools and easy to use worship – a way to spice up your time praising God.

Videos (Bob Bjorklund and Randy Winton)

 Some Happening programs have found that using videos during their weekends adds something special.  This workshop focuses on the use of videos, making your own videos and where to use them during a Happening weekend.  We will also look at the legality of showing these videos and how to obtain a license to do so.
