Quicke to Lead Fall Minister's Retreat Perhaps it’s the beautiful scenery on display at the Lake of the Ozarks. Or maybe it’s the chance to get away for a couple of days. Or it could be the sense of connection felt between other full-time ministers. Whatever the reason, the annual fall Minister’s Retreat, organized and sponsored by the five CBF Excellence in Ministry peer groups in Missouri, has become a favorite event for many church leaders around the state. This year’s retreat, scheduled for September 17- 18, 2007 at Windermere Baptist Conference Center, will be led by Rev. Dr. Michael Quicke, who is Professor of Preaching & Communications at Northern Baptist Theological Seminary in Chicago. This year’s theme is "Closing the Gap - Reconnecting Preaching and Worship." Dr. Quicke has extensive experience in preaching and academic life. Born in London, England, he was educated at both Cambridge and Oxford Universities before beginning twenty-one years of Baptist ministry in Britain. Quicke’s key ministry was in Cambridge at the historic City Centre Church, where morning congregations grew from 70 to over 500. The vision of the church involved the development of a mission center (open seven days a week) through which 4,000 people passed each week. As the author of many articles on preaching, he is committed to the task of equipping preachers to effectively engage our post-modern culture. He is currently working on a book that focuses on preaching in the 21st century. Ministers can sign up by online at www.cbfmo.org. The cost for lodging, four meals, and the sessions is $100 for double or triple occupancy and $140 for a single room. Golf will follow on Tuesday afternoon; for information and golf signup, contact Pete Hill at petehill1@juno.com.
