Rev. Wade Lifton sent us this from the heart of the Shuswap! Wade will be Holy Shift! Size-mic Upgrade’s worship leader. We asked Wade why he’s coming to Size-mic Upgrade and he said: “My experience of community in small churches has been intimate, messy, and life-giving. Relational trust is more significant than any program. I’m excited to hear at Size-Mic Upgrade about the unique dysfunctions and opportunities others are experiencing.” You can read more about Wade, and the HolyShift leadership team on our website. #holyshift #sizemicupgrade #pacificmountainregionucc #conference #churchleaders #leadershiftpmr #iheartsummercamp #campmackenzie #shuswaplife
Back to the Fall Vibe
It’s back to school and school-like routines for our Siblings in Christ, and us adults find ourselves in the fall vibe too. A rising tool in working with children and youth is being employed by educators, parents and coaches. It’s called the Growth Mindset, and we think it’s time for United Church leaders and congregations to embrace it as well. A growth mindset is about identifying fixed thinking (too far, costs too much, there’s no one else who can cover my role) that travel along fixed pathways in our brains, then writing new phrases that, when used instead of the fixed thinking messages, wire new connections in the incredible plasticity of our brains. Google ‘growth mindset’ and allow yourself a few minutes to read and wonder. Invite yourself to identify one or two places in your ministry where employing a growth mindset practice will benefit you and those you serve. Rise from where you’re rooted! #growthmindset #growthmindsetforchurchleaders #nothingisimpossibleingod #holyshift #risingfromwherewearerooted #leadershift #unitedchurchofcanada #newpathways #sizemicupgrade
