Friends, whoa.

The calendar tells us it’s close to the end of January, and maybe like you, BAM, this month has rolled out boldly and almost without brakes. Or maybe we're projecting. For the LeaderShift team, we’ve been full steam ahead, getting the final details together for Winter/Spring 2020 workshops, trainings and opportunities available for you - and! we’re extremely excited to be welcoming Rev. Rhian Walker back to the LeaderShift team. Rhian worked with LeaderShift alongside Keith Howard and Treena Duncan, and her return to the team is an invaluable contribution to the ministry of LeaderShift and our wider PMRC. You’ll hear more about Rhian’s role within LeaderShift in the coming weeks - for now, send some welcoming energy her way, and read on for what’s up with the ‘Shift:


Faithfully,

Matt Miofsky, the author of Let Go: Leaning into the Future without Fear, will be the keynote speaker at this March 2020 Leadership Event in Vancouver AND Calgary for ministry personnel and lay people. LeaderShift, in conjunction with Chinook Winds Regional Council’s Ministry Support Working Group, are pleased to present this inspiring event. Matt Miofsky is Lead Pastor of The Gathering United Methodist Church in Saint Louis, Missouri. He also co-authored 8 Virtues of Rapidly Growing Churches with Jason Byassee. More details and online registration will be available shortly. In the meantime, save the date!

Two PMRC Clusters worked with LeaderShift to book Rev Janet Gear and her exceptional and insightful Theological Banquet workshops - one on Vancouver Island, and one in the Fraser Valley (and more will come). Registration is open now. General details about the Theological Banquet are online at LeaderShift.

In 2019, the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training courses offered by the First Third Ministry and LeaderShift sold out quickly and we added extra dates. We hear your need for more faith-based and informed responses to mental health needs in our communities of faith, and so LeaderShift has made it high priority to offer a number of MHFA trainings across our PMRC. General Mental Health First Aid Training details are here. This is a recognized Mental Health Commission of Canada training, lead by Dr Julie Clayton. Registration is open now - get your spot, in your area, asap. Please know additional locations in Spring/Summer and Summer/Fall are being investigated. We desire to offer this training in all areas within our PMRC.
