Re-engergizing Our Faith Through Prayer, with Jocelyn Watkins
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
This workshop is designed for people who want to deepen their prayer life. Whether you are someone who lives to pray, or prays to live, or not at all, we will interact around prayer as a process of strengthening your faith. We will also talk about how one can live a life of continuous prayer. We will explore: How is prayer and faith interlinked? What are the different types of faith building prayer? What is the importance of praying for others? This will be an interactive workshop.

Re-engergizing Our Faith Through Serving in Community, with Kathy Pham
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
How do we cultivate the love of God in and across our community? How do we as the people of God participate in the liberating, transforming, and healing love of God in the places we inhabit with others? How can the Fellowship of the Believers in Acts 2 guide our future steps? Too often, we allow various barriers to hold us back from being faithful servants. This workshop will focus on encouraging and equipping you to serve one another with one another.

Re-engergizing Our Faith Through Movement (Christ-centered Yoga), with Jackie Johnson
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
In a busy world, it's easy to neglect or forget the physical body that God has given us, let alone connect with God through our bodies. In this session, you will experience a focused time to be attentive to God with your whole body, as you breathe, stretch, pray, and listen to Him.
*If attending this workshop, please bring stretchy clothes, a water bottle, and a towel or yoga mat.*
PRESENTER BIO
Jackie Johnson has been leading faith-based yoga classes since 2016. Yoga has been a transformative part of her spiritual journey and she finds joy in offering the same opportunity to others. Working at the zoo as a keeper for 11 years has kept her on her toes. And, she recently moved to Alpine with her incredibly supportive husband, two teenage kids and cat Dao. Finding time for some quiet presence can be a challenge, but it’s such a blessing when it happens.
Re-engergizing Our Faith Through the Ennegram, with Matt Hammett
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
This workshop will introduce you to the 9 personality types of the Enneagram as a springboard to growing in a deeper understanding of ourselves, compassion for others, and love for God. The Enneagram not only identifies the challenges and gifts of our unique personality but it also directs us towards tangible steps in our journey to become more like Jesus.
PRESENTER BIO
Matt Hammett is the founder and lead pastor of Flood Church in San Diego. Flood was born in 2000 out of Matt’s passion for young people and his vision to help emerging generations become followers of Jesus who live integrated lives of faith, community, and action in a creative and diverse worship environment.

He and his wife Roxanne have four kids, three dogs, and one very patient cat.
Re-engergizing Our Faith Through (Re)Attaching to God, with Scott Wildey
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Our capacity for joyful connection with other people, particularly in the midst of distress, reflects our relationship with God. If conflict causes us relational uncertainty, then we tend to also experience anxiety with God. If our tendency is to retreat during times of tension, then we often experience distance from God too. In this workshop, we will explore the relational glue of our life with God and others so that our capacity for joyful connection can grow.
