ATTENTION BUSINESS LEADERS:
WOODSTOCK BUSINESS
CONFERENCE (WBC)
The Rochester chapter
of the WBC meets at the Borromeo Prayer Center on the third Wednesday of each
month from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. The meeting format comes from the Woodstock
Theological Center at Georgetown University and includes prayer, a reflection on
a Scripture reading, and discussion around challenges business leaders have in
the areas of ethics, morals and values. If you are a leader and would like to
come together regularly with others to address ways you can be a more authentic
Christian leader in your profession, consider joining us.
The meeting is
co-facilitated by Mary Ann Fackelman and Patricia Scouten. Both Mary Ann and
Patricia had previously been trained at Georgetown University in facilitating
the Woodstock program call “Faith and Values at Work. They see the Woodstock
Business Conference as a powerful spiritual aid to leaders.
Feel free to
recommend this to others you think might be interested.
Please give Mary Ann
Fackelman or Patricia Scouten a call at (585) 663-5856 for more information, to
request a brochure, or to let us know you are coming to a meeting.
A LITTLE MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT THE
WOODSTOCK THEOLOGICAL CENTER
Woodstock Theological
Center is located at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. One of its
initiatives is the Woodstock Business Conference which is “…a national movement
of spiritual and social renewal for the business community. The conference
aims to help business and professional executives to move with practical wisdom
toward greater integration in their lives and more effective leadership.”
The conference began in
1992 to address some questions raised by a group of business leaders, such as,
“What difference does it make, and for whom, if business leadership is seen as a
call for excellence, a call to do God’s will?"
In one of the conference
newsletters we read: “The Judeo-Christian tradition sees business as a
calling, a vocation. This tradition highlights the fact that as a business
person you are a steward, entrusted with God’s creation. You employ your
talents and skills. You manage the assets at your disposal for the
creation and distribution of wealth, employment, products, and services.
The executive, manager, and professional need to be able to perform with skill
and competence. Hopefully, you can do so with peace of mind.
Business people gather in Woodstock Business Conference chapters to reflect on
their religious faith and its meaning and impact on the totality of their
lives.”
A PASSOVER SEDER
– OUR NINTH ANNUAL
(Includes dinner and
ritual foods)
Monday, March
10, 2008
6:30 – 9:30 p.m.
This Seder is an authentic
Jewish celebration for use in a Christian context. In this Passover Service we
are not “remembering” the events of an ancient past; all of those events are
brought into the present by the ritual in which we participate. The focus is on
two events central to the history of God’s people: The Exodus and Christ’s
celebrating the Passover with His disciples. Authentic recipes will be used for
the ritual food and lamb dinner to follow. Why not bring your family with you!
Tickets:
Adult: $13.00 Senior: $12.00 Child under 15: $11.00
Tickets are on sale
at the Borromeo Prayer Center, 3011 Dewey Avenue, from February 20th

or cash.

will be in the Parish Center (lower level of the school.)
