Your participation matters! \nAt the General Conference 2020/2024 meeting\, four pieces of legislation passed that would change the denomination’s constitution. In order for these changes to go into effect\, the legislation must be ratified by the collective votes of annual and central conferences of the UMC. Throughout 2025\, all central and annual conferences will be asked to vote on these important topics at their Annual Conference meetings. \nThe four pieces for ratification are: \n\nBallot #1: Regionalization: Changing the structure of the UMC to create equity across the worldwide church.\nBallot #2: Expand inclusiveness in church membership\, especially as it relates to gender and ability.\nBallot #3: Stand against racism and colonialism.\nBallot #4: Clarify local pastor status regarding who can vote for clergy delegates.\n\nUnderstanding these amendments is crucial as we move forward together\, as each will impact how we operate as a global church. The Western Jurisdiction has prepared information on each to help you cast your vote. Lay and clergy members of the annual conference are invited to learn more and prepare for this critical vote by joining us on May 19 at 6:30 pm PDT for an information webinar where you can learn more from your ratification conference teams\, and ask any questions you may have. \nREGISTER NOW AT THIS LINK URL:https://www.pnwumc.org/event/understanding-the-constitutional-amendments/ CATEGORIES:Online Training,Western Jurisdiction ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.pnwumc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/WJ-Ratification-Webinar-Feature-1.jpg LOCATION:https://www.pnwumc.org/event/understanding-the-constitutional-amendments/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250521T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250521T203000 DTSTAMP:20260404T191904 CREATED:20241204T232722Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241204T232834Z UID:10001108-1747852200-1747859400@www.pnwumc.org SUMMARY:Lay Servant Ministries: Discovering and Using Spiritual Gifts DESCRIPTION:Lay Servants who have completed the Basic Course are invited to participate in this five-week class on discovering and using your spiritual gifts\, led by Rev.

Tools in the Church DESCRIPTION:So maybe you’ve heard all the buzz about A.I. in the news over the last year. Perhaps you’re thinking\, what is it\, what impact does it have on the church\, should be using it\, and is it the devil incarnate? If you’ve been asking any of those questions\, are curious\, convinced\, or are dead set against it\, we have the training for you. \nJason Moore has been a longtime proponent for the use of technology in the church. For decades he’s been leading trainings on the use of media\, screens\, visuals\, hybrid and more. And now he’s helping the church embrace Artificial Intelligence in ministry. \nClick here to register for this in-person event. \nIn this day-long training\, Jason will walk you through what A.I. is\, why we should be using it in the church (with theological underpinnings to back it up)\, how to use it (and how not to use it)\, and even where the ethical lines are that we should not be crossing. During the day\, Jason will expose you to the tools\, help you know which are best for what scenarios\, talk about copyright\, ethics and do several real-time demos. We’ll also cover 10 distinct ways to use A.I. in ministry. \nIf you’d like a broad primer on A.I. to see how it could benefit your ministry\, this is for you. And don’t worry\, it’s not highly technical. \nYou also won’t have to go broke with A.I. because many of the tools are free or inexpensive. Bring your computer and follow along\, or just sit back\, watch and observe. \nLunch will be provided for all registered participants! \n\nLocation Details: Emmaus Center (Or Olivet) at Cathedra of the Rockies Downtown Campus\nCost: \n\n\n\nIndividual Registrant: $59\nTeam Registration (for 3 or more): $15 off each registration for groups of 3 or more!\nCOTR Member: $39 with discount code COTR URL:https://www.pnwumc.org/event/using-a-i-tools-in-the-church-2/ LOCATION:Cathedral of the Rockies\, 717 N. 11th St.\, Boise\, ID\, 83702\, United States CATEGORIES:Greater NW Area,Networks,Training ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.pnwumc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Unknown.jpeg GEO:43.6226137;-116.2026794 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Cathedral of the Rockies 717 N. 11th St. Boise ID 83702 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=717 N. 11th St.:geo:-116.2026794,43.6226137 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250524T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250524T160000 DTSTAMP:20260404T191904 CREATED:20250424T005913Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250424T005913Z UID:10001177-1748084400-1748102400@www.pnwumc.org SUMMARY:CWJFON Immigration Clinic w/Free Consultations DESCRIPTION:Immigration attorneys will be providing free immigration consultations for individuals who need them on May 24 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Glenn Anthon Hall on the Yakima Valley College Yakima Campus.

This landmark legislation improved access\, made discrimination against disabled people illegal\, and transformed our systems to become more inclusive. Churches\, however\, fought hard and successfully for exemption from the ADA. \nIn celebration of the 35th anniversary\, in recognition of July as Disability Pride month\, and in an effort to lament and repent of religious ableism\, Bothell UMC and the PNW Disability Ministries Committee are hosting this multi-day conference. You are invited to join us for practical\, justice-oriented workshops; for worship\, fellowship\, and a documentary screening; and for a keynote talk on Becoming Accomplices for Disability Justice. \nWebsite: https://www.bothellumc.org/empowered-by-grace-2025  \nRegistration: https://bothellumc.breezechms.com/form/303550 \nFB Event: https://www.facebook.com/share/1HQHWSf6EZ/ URL:https://www.pnwumc.org/event/empowered-by-grace-disability-justice-and-theology-35-years-after-the-ada/ LOCATION:Bothell United Methodist Church\, 18515 92nd Ave NE\, Bothell\, 98011\, United States CATEGORIES:Annual Conference,Local Church ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.pnwumc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/EMpowered-by-grace-16-9.jpg GEO:47.7624306;-122.2189218 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bothell United Methodist Church 18515 92nd Ave NE Bothell 98011 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=18515 92nd Ave NE:geo:-122.2189218,47.7624306 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250731T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250731T200000 DTSTAMP:20260404T191904 CREATED:20250401T213648Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250401T232939Z UID:10001162-1753984800-1753992000@www.pnwumc.org SUMMARY:Lay Servant Ministries Basic Course DESCRIPTION:The “Introduction to Lay Ministry: The BASIC Course” is the foundational course for Lay Servant Ministries.

Or worse\, they aren’t asked. Universities\, hospitals\, and animal shelters do a great job of reminding and asking people to leave a gift in a will. But what about the church? In this one-hour webinar\, you’ll learn how to start a basic legacy program for your congregation. It’s easier than you think. \nThere are two identical sessions\, both offered on Aug. 12. For questions\, please email projects@umoi.org. \nSee times and register for one of the two sessions.
