But between then and now\, we’ve also been buffeted by polycrisis: heightened cruelty\, exclusion\, and a shaky future of justice for LGBTQ+ people of all intersecting identities. \nIn the swirling chaos: who do we say God is? And who do we say we are? \nThe Spirit is calling us into Uncharted waters. \nThis July\, come to beautiful Madison\, WI\, to refresh your soul\, enlarge your capacity\, and find your travelers on this justice journey. Just in time\, RMN is poised to create a different\, stronger movement in this era of our Church and our world. \nClick here to learn more and register.

This landmark legislation improved access\, made discrimination against disabled people illegal\, and transformed our systems to become more inclusive. Churches\, however\, fought hard and successfully for exemption from the ADA. \nIn celebration of the 35th anniversary\, in recognition of July as Disability Pride month\, and in an effort to lament and repent of religious ableism\, Bothell UMC and the PNW Disability Ministries Committee are hosting this multi-day conference. You are invited to join us for practical\, justice-oriented workshops; for worship\, fellowship\, and a documentary screening; and for a keynote talk on Becoming Accomplices for Disability Justice. \nWebsite: https://www.bothellumc.org/empowered-by-grace-2025  \nRegistration: https://bothellumc.breezechms.com/form/303550 \nFB Event: https://www.facebook.com/share/1HQHWSf6EZ/ URL:https://www.pnwumc.org/event/empowered-by-grace-disability-justice-and-theology-35-years-after-the-ada/ LOCATION:Bothell United Methodist Church\, 18515 92nd Ave NE\, Bothell\, 98011\, United States CATEGORIES:Annual Conference,Local Church ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.pnwumc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/EMpowered-by-grace-16-9.jpg GEO:47.7624306;-122.2189218 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bothell United Methodist Church 18515 92nd Ave NE Bothell 98011 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=18515 92nd Ave NE:geo:-122.2189218,47.7624306 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250731T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250731T200000 DTSTAMP:20260422T163330 CREATED:20250401T213648Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250401T232939Z UID:10001162-1753984800-1753992000@www.pnwumc.org SUMMARY:Lay Servant Ministries Basic Course DESCRIPTION:The “Introduction to Lay Ministry: The BASIC Course” is the foundational course for Lay Servant Ministries.
