Second Annual UDTS Frolf Outing

Where: Veterans Memorial Park 2700 Northview Dr.
Being Human: A CEPlus Retreat Course
Join University of Dubuque's Director of Campus Ministry, Emily Entsminger, MDiv, for our next continuing education event from May 23 - June 19, 2021.
Overall Course Desire: “Learning to bit
by bit approach our prayer, ourselves, and our discipleship with the expectation that we will be gently, and sometimes not so gently, urged towards that new level of life” (Williams, 84). All components will seek to help us explore and live
out our humanity as we pursue Christ.
Course Objectives:
- We will gain a Biblical understanding of what it is to be human (the groan for wholeness)
- We will explore our own humanity through writing and sharing of our personal narratives (the grown of being known)
- We will brainstorm and plan how we can engage those we seek to minister to on a human level (the groan for right relationships)
All of this will be placed in the context of encountering God. Slowing down to hear and see God in our stories, through Scripture, in creation, and through the others with us.
We will look at the life of Christ, and recognizing that he gives us a followable model of what it is to be fully human. Learners will grow in Christian maturity and humanity- experiencing inner transformation- so that they can then help others grow in their own humanity.

Course Fee: $100 (25% discount for groups of three or more, contact Kayla at kschween@dbq.edu for the discount)

M. Daniel Carroll R, Ph.D.
Blanchard
Professor of Old Testament: Wheaton College
Dr. Carroll is half-Guatemalan and was raised bilingual and bicultural. In his youth, he spent many summers in Guatemala and later taught at El Seminario Teológico Centroamericano in Guatemala City for thirteen years. The realities of Central America sparked Dr. Carroll's fascination with the Old Testament. The relevance of the biblical text for the challenges of poverty, war, and politics in those developing countries led him to a passionate focus on Old Testament social ethics and the social sciences.
