SUMMARY:Gathering of the Orders - From Desperation to Radical Love
DESCRIPTION:How do we dismantle the lie of competition\, which arises from the Protestant Affliction that leads to isolation\, working in silos\, apathy\, and despair in order to be deeply committed to radical love\, which requires vulnerability and risk? \nHow does one maintain a core of hope and love in the midst of division\, fear\, and desperation? In systems where fear has asserted itself and where scarcity\, competition\, desperation\, and division have become driving forces\, what is the work of leaders in nurturing a different narrative? Our nation and our denomination are both torn and broken. We feel the effects deeply – in our work and in our souls. \nChitra Hanstad\, Executive Director of World Relief Seattle\, will serve as our keynote speaker. \nAt this year’s Gathering of the Orders\, we’ll extend our focus from the Gathering of Orders at AC\, towards a deep commitment to radical love. The gathering is for Elders\, Deacons (including provisional elders and deacons)\, Local Pastors\, Certified Lay Ministers\, and Lay Persons Assigned. \nParticipants will explore the theme together through worship\, plenary session presentations\, workshops\, panel discussions\, experiential learning\, and small group discussions (with opportunities to “continue the conversation”). \nWorkshop descriptions will be provided to those who register by email. Childcare will be provided for those registering in advance. \nRegister online by September 30 for $50 – CLICK HERE to register. Onsite registration will also be available for $75.

SUMMARY:Clergy Wellness Workshop - Personality Disorders in the Church
DESCRIPTION:There are always one or two people in your congregation who know exactly how to push your buttons\, alienate others\, stir up discord\, or otherwise interfere with the smooth\, healthy functioning of the church’s ministry. This webinar will explore the personality disorders that are often behind people’s difficult\, obstructive\, and/or frustrating 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\, enabling you to set healthy boundaries that protect you and your congregation from toxic behavior. \nCLICK HERE to register!\n\nSue Magrath is a retired mental health counselor with many years experience working with both personality-disordered individuals and the clergy whose ministries are impacted by them.  \nThis is part of an ongoing series of web-based ZOOM workshops on clergy wellness\, hosted by the Formation Committee of the Board of Ordained Ministry. A minimum of 10 participants are required to register for this event to take place; a maximum of 25 participants may register. Registration will close on Friday\, September 6.

SUMMARY:Rainbow Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Jan Shannon and Twinlow Camp\, The Rainbow Retreat is a weekend retreat for LGBTIA+ adults to come and have a fun weekend in a safe place. \nLodging and meals are provided starting with dinner on Friday night to Sunday breakfast. Make sure to bring your swim gear and some SPF because we will be spending some time playing in the lake! Lodging will be in our Retreat Center\, located below the Dining Hall. There are two luxury bunk rooms\, bathrooms are down the hall\, and a large meeting room for games and the camp store are also just down the hall. \nClick here to register today!\nMore Info on the Retreat \nThis is the fourth annual Rainbow Retreat\, but this year we have relocated to Twinlow Camp and Retreat Center due to the whole-hearted welcome of The United Methodist Church that we have experienced in The Pacific Northwest Conference. The main goal of the retreat is to provide the LGBTQ community a safe place to rest and relax beside one of the northwest’s most beautiful lakes. There are not many places in Eastern Washington or Northern Idaho for the queer community to relax and be themselves on a public beach\, so we have created this retreat to fulfill that need. \nParticipants can expect to find great food\, new friends\, a beautiful lake\, and hours and hours of space to simply be themselves and enjoy our beautiful Pacific Northwest summer. \nThe retreat is not a religious event\, however\, a Sunday morning Christian worship experience will be available for those who wish to attend; communion will be offered by PNW Elder Rev. Terri Stewart. No evangelism\, no pressure\, no proselytizing. \nMore Info about the Organizer \nJan Shannon is well known in the Christian and queer communities in Spokane\, has spoken at the state legislature against trans-exclusionary bathroom bills\, and at the 2017 Spokane Women’s March. Jan‘s mission\, as a Christian and former pastor\, is to create safe spaces for the LGBTQ community to re-encounter their spiritual life and to offer opportunities to experience a loving\, safe\, and compassionate God.

SUMMARY:Hispanic/Latino Youth Camp
DESCRIPTION:Who Do You Say I Am? (Matthew 16:15)\nDear Pastors/Youth Directors\, \nWe are so excited to invite you and your youth group to this year’s youth camp. This year we will base our retreat on the scripture found in Matthew 16:15. Our desire is that all youth can experience the presence of God during this time. This year we will have multiple speakers to lead our youth both in God’s word and in worship. \nCost: $70 per student \nAges: 12 – 21 years old (we ask that each youth group comes with chaperone as well.) \nRemember that with 7 students\, a youth director or chaperone comes in for free. \nWe will also have some friendly competition this year where your church will have an opportunity to take some trophies back home. We will have an art piece competition where we ask that the entire youth group from your church can work together to make a masterpiece. This piece has to have the theme of Matthew 16:15. We will also have a Bible trivia based on the whole chapter 16 of Matthew\, so study up. We will have some awesome workshops with topics that focus on our youth. \nThese Workshops will be provided: \n\nThe Heart of a Worshiper – Esteban Rodas\nLive out Your Singleness/Dating God’s Way – Joshua Saucedo\nWhy on Earth am I Here For!? – Hector Saucedo \nCall to Lead – Eli Martinez\n\nHope to see you there this year. \nBlessings\, \nPastor Eli & Sarah Martinez

SUMMARY:Clergy Wellness Workshop - Compassion Fatigue
DESCRIPTION:For many of us\, this is a particularly difficult time to be a United Methodist clergy person. Even in the best of times\, the work of ministry is inherently challenging and demanding. On top of that\, we find ourselves in the midst of fracture\, pain\, harm\, and uncertainty within our denomination and more broadly in our society. It is not uncommon for clergy persons to go through periods of exhaustion or burnout\, and when we do\, one of the most troubling symptoms can be compassion fatigue—a gradual loss of the ability to be empathic and compassionate with those we serve. \nIn this workshop\, Katie will share what she has learned\, as a mental health counselor and as someone who has experienced periods of compassion fatigue herself\, how to build self-compassion alongside compassion for others so that we can tend to our own needs while also tending to the needs of those we serve. The work of caring for God’s people often stretches us beyond our comfort zones and invites us to cultivate an identity-based in serving others. Sometimes\, this work feels deeply rewarding\, and sometimes\, it can begin to feel like too much.  We may become overwhelmed by the suffering of those in our charge and unsure about what constitutes realistic expectations. We may find it difficult to prioritize our own needs in the face of the immensity of the need around us. Sometimes these challenges lead to compassion fatigue\, which is a common experience for folks in caring professions. \nIn this shame-free workshop\, we will explore how to prevent compassion fatigue\, how to notice the signs of its approach\, and what to do when we find ourselves in the midst of it. \nCLICK HERE to register!\n\nRev. Katie Stickney is the Deacon at Redmond United Methodist Church and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in trauma and abuse. In addition to her private practice\, she has been a teacher\, chaplain\, and domestic violence advocate. Katie is passionate about self-care\, tea\, and being near (or in) water as often as possible. Contact Katie at counseling@katiestickney.com or 206-407-9675. \nThis is part of an ongoing series of web-based ZOOM workshops on clergy wellness\, hosted by the Formation Committee of the Board of Ordained Ministry. A minimum of 10 participants are required to register for this event to take place; a maximum of 25 participants may register. Registration will close on Friday\, July 12.

SUMMARY:Convo 2019
DESCRIPTION:Over Memorial Day weekend\, hundreds of Youth (grades 6-12) and adult youth workers will gather at the University of Puget Sound for Convo\, three days of worship\, fun\, and learning. This United Methodist youth retreat is a fantastic opportunity to connect with friends new and old from across the Pacific Northwest!\n\nOur theme this year is The Journey.  Our speaker\, Rev. Dr. Leroy Barber\, a member of the Greater Northwest Area Innovation Vitality Team\, will help us explore how we navigate the great journey of life especially as we work through times of uncertainty and trouble. We will explore how God’s love and faith keep us steadfast and give us hope even during the storms and trials of life. \nEvery year\, Convo is planned by an excellent team of youth and supportive adults who have a passion and dedication to making this the best event it can be; this year is no exception. We’ve been hosting this “Bishop’s Youth Convocation” for over 40 years and we are praying for a weekend where both youth and adults are equipped and recharged to live as passionate disciples of Jesus Christ. \nConvo Dance theme this year is THROWBACK! Whether it’s suits and ties of the 1920s or the vibrant workout fits of the 80s\, everyone has their favorite retro style. Throwback and represent your favorite decades at this fun\, time-warp of a dance. \nWho Can Go?\nConvo is for youth currently in grades 6 – 12 and their adult leaders. We ask churches to send one adult\, who has completed a national background check\, to accompany every 1- 6 youth of each gender. We will try to accommodate youth in cases where this isn’t possible. Cost is $175 for all retreat participants both youth and adults. We do offer a discount to those who are leading workshops or small groups. If you are leading a workshop or small group and you do not have your discount code please contact Teri. We offer scholarships\, for those in financial need\, to help to make this retreat possible for all. \nRegistration\nConvo registration is online. Each youth and adult registering must fill out an online registration form. Youth Leaders can choose to register their entire group at once (contact Teri for details and a registration form).  \nRegistration will close at 11:59PM PST May 9th\, 2019. \n  \nCLICK HERE to register today!\n  \nHelpful Files\nConvo Poster \nConvo Banner or Facebook Cover Photo \nConvo Quarter page flyers \nCONVO_Scholarship_Form \nWorkshop Flyer 2019 \nMore about our Speaker \nLeroy Barber has dedicated 30 years to eradicating poverty\, confronting homelessness\, restoring local neighborhoods\, healing racism\, and living what Dr. King called “the beloved community.” \nLeroy starts projects that shape society; in 1989\, burdened by the plight of Philadelphia’s homeless\, he and his wife Donna founded Restoration Ministries\, to serve homeless families and children living on the streets.

How can you prepare? The Cascadia earthquake and tsunami will be the largest natural disaster in history to hit the United States.

Come learn what we can expect and explore ways to be better prepared. \nCommunity Partnerships Panel \nThis panel will explore the different ways our local churches are partnering with other organizations to make a greater impact in the community. This discussion is designed to reflect on and seek inspiration for new ways we can be more effective in ministry when working with other secular and faith-based organizations. \nPanel will include partnerships with Habitat for Humanity\, Car Camping\, Family Promise\, Literacy Project and Recovery Café. \nAlternative Worship Panel \nIs there one way to worship?
