SUMMARY:UCC Education: PPRC To PSC
DESCRIPTION:This training offered by the national setting of the UCC for Local Church Pastors & Lay Leaders. \nNot your Predecessors PPRC! Pastor/Parish Relations Committees have provided essential leadership in the life of a congregation. And the name has led to some confusion about the focus of their role. Come to this workshop as we explore what it means to become a Pastoral Support Committee – what it is and what it is not. We’ll be talking through and naming the priorities and commitments of a well-functioning PSC. Rev. Tara Barber will share best practices from around the church and be prepared to answer your questions. Open to pastors\, lay leaders\, and judicatory staff. \nRegister by clicking here.

SUMMARY:Men's Keystone Clergy Retreat - "Men and Forgiveness"
DESCRIPTION:The gospel of Jesus Christ lays claim to our lives like nothing else. Throughout his ministry\, Jesus recognizes people\, honors people\, unburdens people\, and frees God’s children from every form of bondage\, confronting injustice with love and death with life.  Jesus re-members our life stories in ways that redefine each person’s sense of identity and purpose.  He identifies and calls forth new strengths and capacities from within us. The forgiveness of God in Jesus Christ invites us to share his life deeply and be infused with a power much greater than all the might and blustering control proclaimed in these times of ours.  We learn his way by heart and are blessed to carry it into the world. Join us on this retreat\, where we will crack open remarkable gospel narratives\, meeting them with the authenticity of our own stories and the fullness of ourselves! \n10 hours of CE credit will be awarded for full participation. \nLearn more and register here.

SUMMARY:Enkei: Healthy Conflict for Strong Churches
DESCRIPTION:Church leaders often say they want to find a way to avoid conflict. The reality is that conflict is what allows us to grow. What we really need is a way to engage in healthy conflict that invites churches to respond to the polycrisis in our world today. The Healthy Conflict for Strong Churches workshop looks at the anxiety our systems are facing\, invites curiosity as to what that anxiety might be stirring for us\, and offers healthy conflict practices that can further our mission and ministry. \nThis workshop will focus on embodied practices\, tools and resources that church leaders may use to create strong teams that can not only address conflict in their leadership body in a healthy way but then use that conflict to engage the change and transformation that is desperately needed a time such as this. \nThe workshop will be offered October 20\, 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Pacific Time (Noon – 3:00PM Eastern) via Zoom. Cost is $50/person and a reduced rate of $25/person is offered for churches sending three or more people. Learn more. Click HERE for the registration page. If you plan to register three or more from the same church\, email me for a special registration link.
