Clergy Meeting: April 29, Online Only via Zoom

Featuring Amy Oden
April 29 | 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. | Online Only

We have revamped and rearranged our April 29 clergy meeting...
     so that we can meet over Zoom and
     so that it contains content that will help you with our new normal and
     so that you can still hear from Amy Oden on Christian Mindfulness.

PLEASE register for the clergy meeting here (even if you had previously registered, as it is a new link and a new meeting structure.)

Now What?

You did it! You figured out how to provide a worship service without a physical building and you did it in record time. Then you figured out how to offer Holy Week and Easter. It is really quite impressive when you think about what you have accomplished since March 13!

But now what? We have what looks like a few months of being the church without walls. What have you learned? What is resonating with folks? What creative ways are you connecting with people?

We want to hear from you. Take a minute to fill out this survey and let us know!

Now What? Take Survey

We have put together a page full of Digital Ministry Resources to help you during these new and challenging times. Find information on: Communication, Worship (Livestream & Recorded, Virtual Workspaces, Online Meetings, Social Media, Online Giving, and more. We also recorded a webinar on Digital Ministry and have that available for you.

We know these times are incredibly challenging. We want to help you do ministry in this new world. Thank you for all you are doing to connect with your congregations from afar.
