SUMMARY:Candlelight Vigil
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an ICE OUT FOR GOOD VIGIL on Sunday\, January 11 from 4-5 p.m. We join with other groups and churches around the country this weekend to name our outrage over the death of Renee Nicole Good and the shooting in Portland of Luis David Nico Moncada and Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras by Immigration Enforcement officers. \nHosted by Edmonds United Methodist Church\, this will be a reflective service as we name the harms and injustices in our government and light candles in memory of those who’ve died in Detention Centers or shot by Immigration Enforcement officers. It will be followed by a short candlelight march on church grounds.

SUMMARY:What to Expect in the Appointment Process
DESCRIPTION:Whether your church is a clear opening that’s expecting a new pastor on July 1\, 2026\, or you’re just curious about the seemingly mysterious appointment process that the cabinet uses\, SPRC leaders from every church are invited to learn more about it. Columbia and Sage districts in the Oregon-Idaho Conference ran a pilot version of this webinar in January 2025. It was so helpful to participants that we are using it throughout Oregon-Idaho and the Pacific Northwest Conferences this coming January. \nWho: Members of the SPRC (Staff Parish Relations Committee or equivalent leaders at churches with a single board structure) are invited to this webinar. Churches that have clear openings (due to receive a new pastor on July 1\, 2026) are expected to have at least two SPRC members who participate in these sessions. If you believe your pastor’s appointment may change\, attending would be an excellent and proactive step. \nWhat: A 90-minute Zoom meeting with superintendents who will describe the appointment process\, including the roles of the superintendent\, SPRC chair\, SPRC members\, and the new pastor. \nWhen/Where: The same information is being offered at two different times; you can choose which fits your schedule.  *Zoom links will be emailed to Churches and SPRC chairs in January. \n\nTuesday\, Jan. 13\, 6:30 p.m. PT / 7:30 p.m. MT\nSaturday\, Jan. 24\, 9 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. MT\n\nWhy: Since most churches don’t regularly participate in the appointment process\, it’s normal to have many questions. Superintendents will be answering those questions—many of them before you even ask—during these Zoom sessions. Participants will receive all the information they need to work confidently with the superintendent during a time of uncertainty and anticipated transition.
