SUMMARY:7 Rivers Clergy & Laity Retreat
DESCRIPTION:7 Rivers District Retreat for Laity & Clergy\nAnxiety & Hope: Embodying hope in anxious times\nMarch 29-31\, 2019 \nLazy F Camp and Retreat Center \nWe live in anxious times. Each new change we face\, be it in our family\, our church\, or our nation\, brings a fresh wave. When faced with change or the anxiety of others\, the one thing we have control over is ourselves. The way we engage the situation can either calm the anxiety or feed it. Join retreat leaders Sue Magrath and Dr. Denise McGuinness to explore how to process your own anxiety and be a non-anxious presence for others. \nWe begin with dinner on Friday evening followed by a time of centering and an introduction to our topic. Saturday leads us deeper and includes a presentation and Q & A on the previous month’s General Conference 2019 by DS Mary Huycke\, the clergy delegate from our Annual Conference. We wrap up our time apart on Sunday morning and depart just prior to lunch. \nTo REGISTER NOW \n

SUMMARY:PNW Gathering of the Orders
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be a Deacon\, an Elder\, a Licensed Local Pastor\, a Certified Lay Minister or Lay Person Assigned? How do these offices within the church strengthen the church as a whole? How do they provide people a variety of ways to offer themselves vocationally for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ? How do we understand these as identities and not only\, or even primarily\, job descriptions? How has each of our responses to God’s claim on our lives led us to the identity\, the work\, and the Way that gives us deep meaning and purpose? \nThese are hard questions in the best of times. During times of national\, international\, and denominational strife and division\, it becomes more imperative to know how to address them. This way of life is wonderful\, difficult\, heartbreaking\, joyous\, isolating\, painful\, and filled with love. There is no other job like serving God vocationally. \nYou are invited to the Gathering of the Orders where this year we will explore spiritual sustenance for this life. We will dialogue about the realities of living this way amid change – personal\, professional\, denominational\, and sociopolitical. You are invited as a spiritual leader in this denomination to gather with your colleagues and fellow members of your orders and fellowships to be replenished. We hope to see you October 23-25. \nRev. Larry Peacock\, a retired UMC Elder\, Executive Director of the Franciscan Spiritual Center\, Portland\, Oregon\, a retreat leader\, and Spiritual Director will serve as our keynote presenter\, as he speaks on and invites us to reflect upon “Angles and Rules: Shaping a Contemplative Life” and “Hospice Worker or Trail Blazer: The Multiple Shapes of Spiritual Leadership.” Larry has authored two books\, Openings: Daybook of Saints\, Sages\, Psalms and Prayer Practices\, and The Living Nativity: Preparing for Christmas with St. Francis. \n\n\n\nWe celebrate God’s claim on our lives as ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ. What brings you joy in this work? What confirms for you that God has called you to this life? Please bring to the Gathering of the Orders October 23-25 a photo or image that communicates your vocational identity. Interpret this as you will…be creative\, honest\, raw\, humorous. Be you. We will post and give thanks for this holy life. See you October 23-25 in Wenatchee!\n\n\n\nOnline registration closed on October 15. Onsite registration will be available for $75.\nChildcare is being offered by the church for children 4 and under. \nWorkshops Descriptions\nPlease select two of the following when you register. \nMindfulness – led by Rev. Denise McGuiness – Mindfulness has seen a resurgence in recent years as a technique used in positive psychology to help build wellbeing and resilience in one’s life. It is based on an ancient practice with spiritual roots in Christianity (centering prayer) and Buddhism (meditation) as well as other religious traditions. This course is a basic introduction to the benefits of mindfulness for stress reduction as well as how to use it as a meditation practice. \nSolvitur Ambulando: It Is Solved by Walking – led by Rev. Wes Stanton – A brief exploration of walking as spiritual practice. We are evolved to be pedestrians. We are embodied to be attuned to all around us. Jesus’ community of disciples was a walking community\, and his teachings and encounters along the way (the Way!) form us as they formed that community. Participants will be invited to walk together and separately in Wenatchee neighborhoods. Dress for the weather\, and don’t forget sun protection. \nThree Contemplative Practices that Transform Ourselves and Our World – led by Rev. Larry J. Peacock – We will explore and practice befriending silence\, embracing loving kindness and living with gratitude. All of this as formation for a personal daily practice. [Only Offered Wednesday afternoon] \nI Still Proclaim: Slam Poetry for Preachers\, Pray-ers\, and Scripture Readers – led by Rev. Katy Shedlock – Slam poetry is a contemporary art form with much to offer preachers\, liturgists\, and worship designers. We’ll learn the basic principles of slam and apply them to the public reading of Scripture\, crafting and delivering prayers in worship\, and creating sermons.
