     NEW YORK (DNS) -- The National Council of Churches of
Christ in the U.S.A. Young Adult Ministry Team is inviting
participation in Come to the Table, an ecumenical leadership
training event.  

     Young adult leaders, lay persons or clergy of any age
who work with young adults, and any persons concerned with
young adult ministry are invited to the 1998 Memorial Day
weekend event. It is to be held May 22-25, 1998, at the
Atlanta (Ga.) Marriott Marquis Hotel.  
     
     Come to the Table offers the opportunity to interact
with young adult leaders from across the U.S. and Canada --
to share ideas for ministry; to define ecumenical
partnerships for future projects; and to have fun and meet
new friends. 

     Young adult ministry issue forums and workshops will
concentrate on the concerns of today's young adults and
practical methods for ministry.  A wide collection of
current resources will be shared by the various
denominations.  

     Former Atlanta mayor, the Rev. Andrew Young, is
scheduled to be a featured speaker.  

     For more information on Come to the Table, contact the
Rev. Grant Azdell, Homeland Ministries, Young Adult
Ministries, P.O. Box 1986, Indianapolis, IN 46206; (317)
635-3113 ext. 295; or via e-mail: grant.azdell@ecunet.org.
