SUMMARY:Bishop's Day in the Puget Sound District - Part 2
DESCRIPTION:In his efforts to continue getting to know our Pacific Northwest Conference and Greater Northwest Area\, Bishop Cedrick Bridgeforth will meet with clergy and laity of the Puget Sound District on Monday\, October 9. \n  \nBecause our district is geographically spread out\, Bishop will meet with us in two different locations that day. In the morning\, Kingston Redeemer UMC will host churches that are on the west side of the Puget Sound plus Whidbey and Fidalgo Islands. Then\, in the afternoon\, Bothell UMC will host those churches located east of the Sound. \n  \nCapacity is limited in each location\, so we are asking for each church in the district to coordinate who will attend to represent them: at least the pastor(s) and 1-2 lay people. Information about registration has been emailed to pastors and leaders\, so please check your inboxes for more details.

On Saturday\, August 19 we will gather at Tacoma First UMC from 10:00am – 2:00pm. \nThe day will begin with a time of sharing from the ministry of Tacoma First UMC and the ministry they have created called Common Good Tacoma\, creating partnerships with community organizations that share a common vision for their neighborhood and community. Over lunch we will welcome the new pastors in our District and thank those who have served our District in this past year. Then\, we will conclude with a series of workshops that we believe will challenge and inspire you for your ministry contexts\, including “Deep(er) Dive with Common Good Tacoma\,” “Creation Care\,” and “Property Development and Community Engaged Partnerships.” \n  \nRSVP here to let us know you’re coming. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

SUMMARY:Clergy Wellness Webinar - Deciphering Personality Disorders in the Church and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:There are always one or two people in your congregation who know exactly how to push your buttons\, alienate others and make even the most innocuous meeting agenda go suddenly awry.  Learn about the personality disorders that are often behind people’s bad behavior and how you can become more effective in dealing with them. While we will be addressing clinical material\, the emphasis is not on diagnosis but on recognizing patterns of behavior and understanding the motivation behind them.  Through understanding\, you can begin to take your encounters with such people less personally.  This restores balance to your interactions and enables you to set healthy boundaries that protect you from hurtful behavior. \nThis event will take place over Zoom on Tuesday\, August 15th from 1-4pm. Please go to this link to register. \nObjectives: \n\nIdentify the five personality disorders most likely to be present in your congregations and understand the origins of these disorders.\nLearn the basic principles of assertiveness and how to utilize them in your church.\nDevelop an awareness of the personalities to which you are most vulnerable based on your personal history.\nLearn to implement appropriate boundaries that allow for healthy self-care without taking away from your family or your congregation.
