Learning the WAY: A Practical Workshop
Learning the WAY: Understanding that in the 21st century, Christians are formed, not born
Saturday, July 18
Lutheran Church of the Messiah
465 Clairemont Ave., Decatur, GA 30030
(404) 373-1682
Christians are formed, not born. This is a practical workshop for developing a catechumenate, an intentional and ongoing formation of Christians. This process is rooted in ancient practice. The word “catechumenate” derives from the meaning to be taught orally, and is the name given to the preparation of persons for baptism from the earliest centuries of Christian experience. The Rev. Paul Hoffmann of Seattle, Washington, will share how to gather and engage people in learning what it means to follow Christ. They present this workshop to help churches realize the life giving transformation of baptism-centered communities in our post-modern and post-Christian times.
Persons from all Christian traditions are welcome to participate. The catechumenal process translates well into a wide variety of settings and faith communities.
While the workshop is open to anyone, the presenters encourage congregations to send a team consisting of pastor/clergy and three or more lay persons.
Registration, which includes lunch and materials, is $20 per person.

Medicaid Re-enrollment
If your ministry serves Medicaid/PeachCare for Kids, the Dept. of Human Services has a message and materials for you.
-
- Redetermination began in April 2023. Based on changes in federal law, the State of Georgia must complete redeterminations up to May 2024. We want to ensure current Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids® members are still eligible for coverage.
-
- During redetermination, the State of Georgia will collect and verify member information, including contact and income details as well as other requested information and documents that will be used to determine member eligibility. Not everyone will go through this process at the same time. In fact, it will take about 14 months to reach everyone.
-
- Members can visit gateway.ga.gov to view their redetermination date and to update their contact information today so they can stay informed about the status of their coverage.
-
- Members who need help can visit their local Division of Family & Children Services office for support. To find the location and business hours for local offices, visit: dfcs.ga.gov/location
-
- For more information on Medicaid redetermination, we are including a partner toolkit with resources in multiple languages, please visit “Stay Informed. Stay Covered.”
