SUMMARY:Grief Workshop With Sue Magrath
DESCRIPTION:Clergy of the Inland and Seven Rivers districts are invited to attend a four-week class on grief led by Sue Magrath from January 9th – 30th. The class will be held on Zoom on Thursday from 1:00 to 3:30 PM and will count as one CEU of your continuing education requirement. \nBased on Magrath’s new book\, Love Abides: The Sacrament of Grieving\, this class will explore the myths about grief and the many life events and losses that result in grief. We will examine the life experiences that shaped our thoughts about grief and how to challenge unhealthy beliefs and responses. We will dive into the situations unique to ministry that lead to grief yet are not always recognized as such. We will share our own grief stories\, practice the language of lament\, and gain more understanding of how to compassionately walk with parishioners who are grieving\, especially when their loss leads to a crisis of faith. Lastly\, we will seek to find meaning in our losses and transform them in life-giving ways that open us to hope and healing. \nSue Magrath is a retired mental health counselor and spiritual director who has been active in the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference for fourteen years. She has led retreats and workshops\, worked in clergy wellness\, served on the Board of Ordained Ministry’s formation committee\, and preached whenever she has the opportunity. Sue has led Advanced Boundary classes every quadrennium since 2012. She is the author of four books\, including My Burden is Light: A Primer for Clergy Wellness. \n  \nTIME: Thursdays 1-3:30 pm  PST     \nDATES: January 9\, 16\, 23\, and 30.  \nWHERE: Zoom (Link will be sent with registration confirmation)  \n*COST:  $15 Registration Fee  \nSue’s Book Love Abides is available on Kindle or from Amazon here\, but it is not necessary for this class. \nRegister Here: https://gnw-reg.brtapp.com/2025GriefWorkshop

SUMMARY:BOTH/AND: To Be Continued
DESCRIPTION:About this Training \nAfter over 18 months of doing our best to live into BOTH/AND\, many churches are feeling a mixture of exhilaration and exhaustion when thinking about the continuation of hybrid worship. While many have seen their reach extended\, some have begun to lose their passion and resolve for creating truly hybrid worship experiences. As in-person numbers have increased\, more and more churches are asking\, “can we stop doing online now?” If that’s you\, don’t give up! Now is the time to re-new and re-energize your passion for BOTH/AND.

SUMMARY:Endowments: What You Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Endowments aren’t just for universities and hospitals. They can be a great way to maintain church buildings and fund ministries. However\, endowments don’t merely appear out of thin air.

Want to know more? These workshops are the ticket! Sign-up here. Zoom information will be sent two days before the event. \nPart 1: Tuesday\, September 28; 6-8pm \nIn Part 1\, a panel of experts will answer basic questions about endowments. What is an endowment? Are there different kinds of endowments? What are the benefits and drawbacks? What if the funds are restricted? What’s the difference between an endowment and a reserve fund? \nThen our experts will discuss how to set up an endowment fund – and what you should know about setting it up correctly.  Sign-up here. \nPart 2: Tuesday\, November 2; 6-8pm \nIn Part 2\, you’ll learn how to manage an endowment and what to do if you need to close (or “extinguish”) it. \nFinally (and most importantly)\, join us in discussing the spiritual and ethical considerations that may arise as a result of establishing and/or maintaining an endowment.  Sign-up here. \nPresenters:   \nJulia Frisbie\, Associate Director\, Faith Foundation Northwest\nBrant Henshaw\, Pacific Northwest Conference Treasurer and Director of Administrative Services\nGary McGee\, Managing Partner\, Gary McGee & Co.\, Non-Profit Accounting Specialists|\nDan Wilson-Fey\, Oregon-Idaho Conference Treasurer \nCesie Delve Scheuermann\, Oregon-Idaho Stewardship Consultant\, is moderating and organizing the workshops.
