SUMMARY:Love Thy Neighbor Seattle: Gathering for Ordinary Revival
DESCRIPTION:Across the Pacific Northwest there is an ordinary revival brewing. \nChurches are moving from:\nFragmented Isolation TO Neighborhood Presence\nReligious Consumerism TO Collaborative Participation\nUnrecognized Privilege TO Equitable Inclusion\nA Scarcity Lens TO Abundant Ecology\nToxic Charity TO Community Caring \nOn September 21-22\, we will gather in Seattle to celebrate what God is already doing in our midst and to plot towards what is possible. We will reignite our communal imagination towards God’s work in our neighborhoods and nurture the culture shift of churches and leadership as we cast a vision for the next 10 years. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDenominational and non-denominational pastors\nLeaders within the church\nLocal practitioners who are already joining in what God is doing in the everyday life of their town\, village\, or neighborhood.\nMission\, non-profit and outreach leadership\nCongregation members\n\nQuite frankly\, it’s anyone that responds to the tide of social and ecological fragmentation by learning to follow Jesus as they grow the fabric of love and care in their parish\, and link together across places in mutual learning\, collaboration\, and encouragement. \nLearn More & Register

SUMMARY:Radical Compassion Training
DESCRIPTION:Consider attending the upcoming Jesus’ Way of Radical Compassion: Training of Three-Fold Compassion Facilitators Event on Friday and Saturday\, November 30 and December 1\, 2018 at Portland First United Methodist Church\, Portland\, OR 97201. \nClick here to register now!\nThis three-part training is presented by Dr. Frank Rogers of The Center for Engaged Compassion (CEC) and the Claremont School of Theology. This is the first of three retreats that will include online and individual work between the face-to-face sessions. The training will focus on the teachings\, practices and skills necessary to lead retreats\, workshops\, and congregational events rooted in the CEC’s approach to three-fold compassion. \nThe CEC’s approach to three-fold compassion is rooted in the spiritual path of Jesus and deepens persons’ experience of being loved by an extravagantly compassionate sacred presence\, cultivates a healing and restoring self-compassion\, and increases capacities to extend compassion to others\, including those who suffer\, those who are outcast\, and those with whom we are in enmity. \n“For me\, participating in the Compassion in Practice training has been a powerful combination of finding spaces in myself that I’d ignored for years and giving permission to sweep out the cobwebs and reclaim what was lost as well as connecting with a source of sacredness that surrounds and envelopes me in unexpected ways each time I engage with the material and others in the workshops. The compassion practices are an integral resource for practicing and leading times of reflection and grounding.” Lydia Henry\, Columbia District Lay Leader\, Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference \nThis is the second cohort of persons to be trained in the CEC’s process for radical compassion in the Greater Northwest Area. The process has captured the imagination and commitment of lay and clergy who participated in the first cohort. Some will join Frank as facilitators in this upcoming engagement. \nWe hope that you too will be captured by this process and want to continue with the three sessions that will allow you to facilitate the process on your own. However\, you needn’t commit to becoming a facilitator until after you have experienced the process in this first of three sessions. \nTRAINING OBJECTIVES: \nThose who complete the three-part facilitator training will: \n\nUnderstand the teachings of three-fold compassion and its roots in the Gospels and Christian spirituality.\nInternalize the core practices that cultivate three-fold compassion including the Compassion Practice\, Sacred Moment\, the Awareness Examen\, Welcoming Presence\, Self-Compassion\, Compassion for Others\, and Embodying Compassionate Action.\nPossess a core curriculum that can be adapted for various contexts and forms of retreats\, workshops\, and congregational teaching settings.\nBe able to lead the practices that constitute the core curriculum and facilitate others’ experience of them.\n\nDATE & TIME:\nStart: Friday\, November 30\, beginning at 1:00 PM\nEnd:  Saturday\, December 1\, ending at 5:00 PM \nEVENT LOCATION:\nPortland First United Methodist Church\, 1838 SW Jefferson St.\, Portland\, Oregon 97201.

SUMMARY:Endowments: What You Need to Know

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.

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. It’s making a difference. \nJoin Jason Moore for a follow up to the popular BOTH/AND webinar. BOTH/AND: To Be Continued will focus on why hybrid should carry on\, how to continue to iterate and will provide tangible handles on how to do it well. This brand new 90-minute training brings all new content focused on the why\, how and what we can do to run the next leg of this very important race. We are living in an incredible “Great Commission” moment in the church. Let’s lean in and continue to iterate forward. \nThis webinar will include: \n\nAn invitation to determine your WHY for BOTH/AND worship\n13 reasons why BOTH/AND must continue\nAnswer to the “what if they don’t come back to the building” question\nHow to create a BOTH/AND Think Tank at your church\nHow to build an intentional chat strategy in order foster real relationships\nBOTH/AND pro tips\nQ&A\n\nAfter you register\, you will receive an email with links to a recording of the original BOTH/AND webinar and an accompanying workbook. We hope this will make it easier for new participants to fully engage and past participants to refresh themselves with Jason’s content. \nRSVP by Nov. 18! →\nQuestions? \nEmail Patrick Scriven\, director of communications for the Pacific Northwest Conference of The United Methodist Church\, if you have any questions about this training or the registration process. His email address is pscriven@pnwumc.org. \nA full description of this offering is available here: https://regionalmediacenter.org/both-and-to-be-continued/ \n* Who can register for this training?\nUnited Methodist laity and clergy serving the churches and ministries of the Alaska\, Oregon-Idaho and Pacific Northwest Conferences are invited to use register for this training. The training is being offered free of charge by the Regional Media Center as part of its service to United Methodists in the Alaska\, Oregon-Idaho and Pacific Northwest Conferences.
