This year LeaderShift is experimenting with a few intentionally curated online engagement opportunities. Meeting, learning, and practicing our faith together in person is powerful and allows for deepening relationship and understanding - but often meeting in person isn’t possible. The costs involved and the time required for many in our Regional Council to travel for workshops, conferences, and meetings is prohibitive to participation.  

Many communities of faith, and ministries, are working with live-stream technologies to help make worship and other activities accessible. LeaderShift is learning and discerning how these technologies could support two-way engagement for those who aren’t able to attend in-person events.

 We are partnering with Connect North, an technology ministry supported by the Pacific Mountain Regional Council, in getting these LeaderShift Online Engagement Sessions tech-ready, and facilitators trained in the software and finer points of hosting online gatherings. In these unusual days of COVID-19 precautions and care taking, we are thankful for projects like these being already in the works, and that we have access to the technology that can bring us together, virtually.

The three Online Engagement Sessions are all coming up after Easter. One is very skill based, one is more about a theological exploration, and one is about engagement in spiritual practice. Please see if one of these would be a fit for you. You will have an excellent experience, and be able to offer important feedback to LeaderShift so that we can continue to develop this virtual way of engaging as part of our ongoing offering in the future.
