SUMMARY:GNW Webinar: Exploring and understanding changes afoot in The UMC
DESCRIPTION:Change is unfolding in The United Methodist Church: A delayed General Conference until 2024\, people from across the spectrum forming new denominations and leaving The UMC\, work within the existing United Methodist Church to create positive change and build connections\, and more. All of these changes could have an impact on local churches and clergy. That’s why leaders from across the Greater Northwest Area want to begin a dialogue with clergy and laity about what these changes might mean for all of us here who are committed to being Christ’s disciples for a transformative world. Join us for the first of what will hopefully be continued conversations on the changes ahead for the church. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:A FREE Cyber Retreat for Sisters in Ministry
DESCRIPTION:This year\, even though we can’t meet in person AGAIN\, we can meet on Zoom and do the special sharing that we have done each year at the Women in Ministry Retreat. Again\, 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 or assigned in the PNW Conference of United Methodist Church (including lay ministers and retirees). \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 (again) – ya\, ya\, ya!” just for that! \nSchedule:\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-1:30 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.\n1:30 PM – back to the BIG ZOOM for devotion\, finish the check-ins\, and a prayer 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. \nSIDE GROUP PLANNERS/FACILITATOR TYPES:\nAnyone 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 – karlafred1@comcast.net \nAfter you register\, you will receive an automatic confirmation\, including a Zoom link to use for this gathering. \nClick Here to Register
