SUMMARY:Mission u 2021
DESCRIPTION:We have known and felt what it is like when “things are falling apart on us.” We have experienced a great unraveling that has shifted\, quite literally\, everything. \nCould there be\, as 2 Corinthians put it\, “far more here than meets the eye”? \nMission u\, like many activities in our lives\, has moved online. While virtual\, we are still creating spaces for spiritual community\, lifelong friendships\, lessons that change us and our communities\, and spiritual practices that arrive when we need them most. In a time when it looks like things are falling apart on us\, God’s grace is still unfolding and life is being made new. \nIndeed: There’s far more here than meets the eye. Will you join us? \nAt our upcoming Mission u\, we will examine anxiety\, the culture of violence that impacts children in and out of schools\, and how we as God’s people can deepen our moral witness and respond faithfully. \nOur 2021 Mission u in the Pacific Northwest Conference will offer the following studies Thursday through Saturday\, July 29-31\, online via Zoom: \n\nSpirituality Study: Finding Peace in an Anxious World\, edited by Erin James-Brown\, Taught by Rev. Joanne Coleman Campbell\nIssues Study: Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools by Monique Morris\, Taught by Donna Farrell\, Nica Sy and Angela Reed\nYouth Study: Becoming Peacemakers in a Culture of Violence: A Curriculum for Youth Leaders by Jay Godfrey\, Taught by Abby Niehaus\nChildren’s Study: Responding to Violence: A Curriculum for Children’s Facilitators by Sue Raymond\, Taught by Rudilyn Rush\n\nDownload Registration Form\nDownload Event Flyer\nDownload Tentative Schedule

SUMMARY:Women In Ministry Cyber Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Let’s get together – ya\, ya\, ya!\nA FREE Cyber Retreat for Sisters in Ministry\n“If I ever miss the sharing that happens when women get together\, it is like a hole in my heart that can’t be filled with anything else. Like missing the twin from whom I was separated at birth\, and realizing there is something missing. SISTERS! It’s important to have a time to share with one another!” \n– A PNW clergy sister \nThis year\, even though we can’t meet in-person\, we can meet on Zoom\, and do the special sharing that we have done each year at the Women in Ministry Retreat. We’ll miss the special beauty and delicious meals at Rainbow Lodge. We’ll miss the late-night catching up with one or two sisters\, hiking in the woods\, playing board games\, and sharing worship times. But\, we don’t have to miss all of it! \nHere’s an opportunity to check in with one another on zoom. To discover our DNA as sisters in ministry. To share the blessings and frustrations\, the heartbreak and joy of being in ministry as a woman appointed in the PNW Conference of United Methodist Church. \nLike Hayley Mills in The Parent Trap (the first one) we can discover ourselves again in the stories of others. So\, “Let’s get together – ya\, ya\, ya!” just for that! \nSchedule:  \n\n9:00 AM – anyone who has a “side meeting” they want to schedule and facilitate\, come early to work out time(s)\n9:30-11:30 AM – THE BIG ZOOM with everyone attending! Beginning with worship\, and going directly into the “how is it with your soul/what’s happening in your life” check-ins.\n11:30 AM-2:00 PM – Break for… rest\, lunch\, checking email\, nap… OR breakout groups who want to talk about particular topics: upcoming General conference issues\, political climate\, etc.\n2:00 PM – back to the BIG ZOOM to finish the check-ins\, with a short worship at the end.\n3:30 PM – “Goodbye\, it was good to get together (ya\, ya\, ya)” to the large group – other groups may want to stay on for more side discussions.\n\nSIDE GROUP PLANNERS/FACILITATOR TYPES: Anyone wanting to offer one of those side groups/discussion gatherings in the break or after the ending\, please let Rev. Karla Fredericksen know of the topics ASAP – pastorumc@rainierconnect.com \nAfter you RSVP\, you will receive an automatic confirmation which will include a Zoom link to use for this gathering. \nRSVP Today!
