EXTRAVAGANZA 2014: FRAMEFour frames will shape the 2014 EXTRAVAGANZA.
1. The Biblical Frame. Scripture
has many layers. We cannot
spend enough time reading,
studying, praying with, and con-
templating the power of God’s
word.
2. The Theological Frame. Our
Lutheran understanding of how
God works in the world provides
a distinct worldview of how we
interact with community and
with creation.
3. The Discipleship Frame. One of
the ‘frames’ we are living into is
the framework provided by the
Practice Discipleship initiative.
Discipleship is nothing unless it
is practiced.
4. The Children and Youth Sub-
culture Frame. This fluid and
dynamic frame is always in
transition. But viewed through
the other frames, and tended by
those who give attention faith
formation, this frame has deep
relevance to the stories of those
we minister among.
Since The Extravaganza is framed
within the Network, AND the Net-
work if framed within the church,
AND the church is framed within
God’s mission...E 2014 will use the
FRAME as a way to see ‘into’ a vari-
ety of ministries.
SPEAKERSThis year’s Extravaganza main stage speakers are going to take a new and different format. Styled after TED Talks, each general session will have several dynamic, concise talks, that will last no longer than 10-15 minutes. Speakers will come from the depth and breadth of the church, and will describe the frame in which God has called them to do ministry.

INTENSIVE CARE COURSESThe Network is committed to being a learning community. The Extrava-ganza provides a great opportunity through the workshops and the main stage to learn. But folks were ask-ing for more...more time and more in-depth. So we created “Intensive Care.” It is 2 days of going deep into a single subject. It digs into topics that you just can’t cover in 60 or 90 minutes. It connects you with experts in the field and helps you to grow in your vocation.
