3. Carry out your vision - efficiently execute the day-of activities and document the event.
4. Follow up - send thank yous, analyze results, and begin planning for next year.
This document provides ideas from a brainstorming session on how to re-energize and reinvent events. Participants shared questions and ideas in small groups. Suggestions included having important information or speakers at the end to keep attendees, changing 25% of an event and getting feedback, getting value from speakers by booking them for multiple events or getting promotional content from them, appealing to different generations through varied media, food/drink themes, entertainment like scavenger hunts or local events, and promotional items that people will use. The overall message is to exercise creativity and get ideas from others.
This document provides ideas generated from a session focused on reinventing and reenergizing events. Participants shared questions and ideas in small groups. Suggestions included having important information or speakers at the end of events; mixing up content and formats to appeal to different generations; incorporating local activities, entertainment like caricaturists, and team building; and giving promotional items that will be used like USB drives instead of stuffed into bags. Constantly monitoring other events and asking colleagues for ideas can help organizations exercise creativity.

The document discusses the harmful effects of gossip and slander in the church. It notes that gossip destroys joy in fellowship, diminishes the church's testimony, and demoralizes and divides the congregation. It provides remedies such as avoiding gossip, not listening to gossip, and distancing oneself from gossips. The goal should be healing wounds and building others up through kind speech.
The document outlines three keys to innovative leadership presented by Dr. Bobby Gilstrap. Key #1 discusses five intangibles of innovative leaders: they lead with drive, insight, personal connection, are contemplative, and lead with passion. Key #2 discusses seven principles: know yourself, let go of the past, learn your purpose, live with openness to change, learn teamwork, share leadership, and let creativity flourish. Key #3 discusses seven practices: listen to God, listen to people, help others succeed, speak truth in love, build networks, pursue excellence, and model stability.
8 Legal Concerns For Constitutions & Bylawsbobby gilstrap
Courts will hold churches accountable to their constitutions and bylaws when faced with lawsuits. It is important for churches to have up-to-date governing documents that address key issues like leadership, meetings, membership, and disputes. These documents establish the rules and procedures churches have authority to set for themselves. If documents are outdated or incomplete, courts may impose state statutes instead of allowing churches to govern themselves. Regular review and updates of constitutions and bylaws can help protect churches from certain legal liabilities.
The document discusses the dangers and sources of gossip and division within churches. It provides several Bible passages condemning gossip and urging unity. Gossip stems from issues like carnality, jealousy, desire for position and biblical illiteracy. Churches should have zero tolerance for gossip and slander in order to remain unified and protect members from harm.
This document summarizes the 51st annual meeting of the Huron Baptist Association in Michigan. It includes the order of events such as welcome, prayers, songs, reports from various ministry teams, recognition of achievements, and a closing message. The goal of the association is to link churches together to communicate Christ through evangelism, church planting, missions, leadership development, and other ministries.
A message that challenges Christians to be willing to pay the price to see friends and loved ones come to know Jesus. Paying the price in the battle; paying the price with their burden; and paying the price with their brokenness.
The document outlines the mission needs and opportunities in Michigan. It describes the large population size, high number of lost and unchurched people, and diverse religious and ethnic groups in the state. It specifically focuses on the challenges and opportunities in Livingston, Washtenaw, and Monroe counties, which have a small number of Baptist churches relative to the population. The director of missions encourages prayer support and volunteer involvement to help with church planting efforts, evangelism activities, and ministry projects aimed at reaching more people for Christ.
The document discusses the biblical concept of blessing and the importance of blessing being felt through touch, spoken through words, and attaching special value to the person being blessed. It then discusses the meaning and proper observance of taking communion or the Lord's Supper, including the criteria of being saved and not participating if one has not accepted Christ.
The document discusses what it means to be holy according to 1 Peter 1:13-2:1. It means that believers should think differently by focusing their minds on God, live differently by conducting themselves with reverence, and love differently with sincere, deep, and pure love for others. It also means speaking differently by ridding themselves of wickedness, deceit, envy, and slander. Being holy involves transforming one's mind and way of living to align with God's holiness. The document encourages examining one's own thoughts, actions, love for others, and speech to ensure they honor God.
The document discusses living in harmony according to 1 Peter 3:8-12. It provides five points on how to diffuse conflict and live peacefully with others: 1) Walk in another's shoes and understand their feelings without validating bad ideas. 2) Remember that as believers, we are on the same team and should love, show compassion, and be humble towards each other. 3) Instead of repaying evil with evil, we should give blessings to build up relationships. 4) Control our tongue and words to avoid deceit and conflict. 5) Pursue peace by turning away from evil, doing good, seeking peace, and diffusing conflict rather than starting fights. The goal is to behave as God does by diffusing
The document summarizes an upcoming audio conference featuring Ed Stetzer discussing his book "Comeback Churches" which examines 324 churches that experienced renewed growth after a period of decline. It provides background on Stetzer and an overview of the study methodology, and poses a series of questions to help guide discussion on principles for turning churches around and leading them to experience a "comeback".
1) The document discusses using technology in ministry, focusing on websites, email lists, online registration, social media, audio/web conferencing, and podcasting.
2) It provides examples of tools and services for these technologies, such as ConstantContact for email lists and GoToMeeting for web conferencing.
3) Data is presented showing that web registration had an 81% response rate compared to 12% for phone and 5% for email when registering for events.
Servant evangelism involves intentionally sharing one's faith through acts of service without any strings attached. It can be an effective way to reach people in today's culture and allows laypeople to creatively initiate ministry opportunities. Some examples provided include washing cars or windows, handing out snacks or other gifts, and serving the community through projects like car washes. The document emphasizes that people come to know Christ gradually through multiple exposures, so servant evangelism is meant to build bridges over time rather than expecting immediate conversions.
Acts 02 37 Baptism:First Step of Obediencebobby gilstrap
The document summarizes the key events and teachings around baptism presented in Acts 2:37-42. It outlines that hearing the word of God and personally accepting Jesus Christ should come before baptism. Baptism symbolizes the burial and resurrection of Christ and the believer's death to sin and new life in Christ. After baptism, one should join the church, grow in discipleship through teaching, fellowship, and prayer, and experience joy in their relationship with God and other believers. Over 3,000 people were baptized and added to the church on the day described in Acts.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
