SUMMARY:ELCA Stewardship Webinar: “Stewardship When Economics Are Uncertain”
DESCRIPTION:The economy has been unpredictable as we slowly emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unemployment remains low\, yet interest rates have jumped considerably\, and with three very public bank failures this year\, people are being more cautious with their resources. How can we talk about stewardship and money in a way that is honest and honors uncertain economic times?  \nOn August 21\, the ELCA in partnership with the Lake Institute on Faith & Giving\, will host a webinar geared toward helping leaders talk openly\, honestly and inspirationally about stewardship and generosity\, even in uncertain times. The webinar will be held via Zoom from 7-8pm ET and will led by the Rev. Meredith McNabb and the Rev. Tim Brown.  \nZoom Information: Zoom Link (active on August 21)

SUMMARY:ELCA Vital Congregations Training - Part 2 (Fall 2023)
DESCRIPTION:Is your congregation ready for a follow-up to ELCA Vital Congregations Training\, Part 1? Have you taken some of the learning from that first training and put it into practice in your congregation? Has your congregation developed some next steps and are they beginning to live into revitalization and renewal? Are you seeking more training to move deeper into congregational transformation? Then\, you are invited to attend the 2023 Fall Session of the ELCA Vital Congregations Training\, Part 2. \nThis is a fast paced co-creative and co-experimental training facilitated by leaders with steep experience in redeveloping congregations as well as added guest presenters from a variety of settings with a wealth of knowledge. This training will build on the previous training of being expectant of the Holy Spirit\, focusing on Jesus and justice; living as disciples of Jesus; multiplying leaders who are young\, diverse and bring fresh insights; and aligning with purpose and core values. Focused on evangelism\, this training will equip participants to identify and share their faith stories\, recognize opportunities to share their faith\, move into spaces and places that offer the development of new relationships\, and become more comfortable with inviting people to come and see Jesus. \nThis will be a four-session training. The training sessions will be held two times per day from 1:30-3:00 p.m. (eastern time) and from 7:30-9:00 p.m. (eastern time) on Thursdays August 31st\, September 14th\, September 28th and October 5th. You may choose the best time each day that works for you. All sessions will be recorded and available to all registered participants. Pastors and congregations are encouraged to come as teams of 3–5 people for a time of inspiration\, learning\, planning\, sharing\, experimenting\, visioning\, and implementing. NOTE: This training is for people who have already attended a previous ELCA Vital Congregations Training. \nFor more information\, please contact Pastor David Sprang\, Assistant to the Bishop and Director for Evangelical Mission at davidsprang@mittensynod.org. \nRegister Now.
