Hello, Friends!
Hot dang, there's been a lot of activity since we last wrote! Remember that late-August message about knowing some exciting things were coming your way, but to keep resting just a little bit longer? We hope this finds you well - no denying this 'start up' month is happening and proving anything but normal. Yet we pray for us each to embrace - with thanks - the familiar ways and things and people that we can lean on as we get up and get going: our practices, our settings, our relationships of all kinds, and for sure with the grace and love of God.
This is a short newsletter with details of The Fall Slate from LeaderShift. Below you'll see more than 10 online engagement sessions available to you, all offered within our regional council and rooted deep in our denominational call.
The Time is Now
We know you'll find one or more offerings that speak to you, and trust you'll engage in what you can. What's ready now includes:
an excellent, once in a church-lifetime pricing on an internationally renowned worship-arts program
small group nourishment for ministry personnel serving in remote and rural settings
practical, hands on learning about the power and presence of white privilege in our lives and systems - and how you can help break the cycles of racism
embracing the ask and gaining comfort and joy with givings
a huge online festival with a sacred party-vibe that everyone from a one-church town - youth, families, adults elders- are invited to attend
Coming soon
"21 Things You Didn't Know About the Indian Act" book study and author engagement with Bob Joseph, the returning series "Faith Leaders for Such a Time as This" and a new series "Developing Online Small Group Leadership Skills" with Rev Rhian Walker, will be open for registration in the coming weeks.
When you go deeper, you'll see that LeaderShift has a new registration page here on our website! No more jumping from platform to platform. We're keen for you to poke around and get yourself registered now for the fall slate of online engagement sessions.
Space is limited.

Faithfully,
