SUMMARY:Clergy Wellness Workshop - Substance Use Disorders: A Primer for Clergy
DESCRIPTION:The opioid crisis has dominated headlines in recent years\, but addiction of any kind is a concern for families\, communities\, and even the church. Many of us do not understand the power that substances can have in people’s lives. Addiction to drugs\, alcohol\, or other substances can result in shame or blame and impacts every aspect of users’ lives. Loved ones suffer the pain and fear of watching their family member spiral out of control. Clergy may be confronted with people in their congregations who suffer with addiction and/or their family members (or ours) who need help knowing how to respond appropriately. We may not be able to fix the problem\, but with this webinar\, we might be more informed\, more supportive\, and less judgmental. Topics addressed will be: What is a substance use disorder? What are the common signs and symptoms? How might we help the substance user or their family members? What resources are available for recovery? \nCLICK HERE to register!\n\nPresenter: \nPastor Daniel Miranda earned his M. Div. from Central Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas. He also has a graduate certificate in Addiction Studies from Eastern Washington University. He has served as pastor\, overseas missionary in Japan and the Philippines\, and over a decade as a drug and alcohol counselor in hospital and clinic settings in both inpatient and outpatient services in Wisconsin and Washington. \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 16 participants may register. Registration will close on Friday\, November 8.

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.

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.
