Opportunities for Connection
Collegial Care in Anxious Times: Weekly Supportive Space with Melissa Carvill Ziemer
During this challenging season in ministry, there might be times when you, the pastor, would welcome the blessing of pastoral care for yourselves. If you have one of those weeks, you are invited to consider joining me for an experience of collegial pastoral care. From now through the end of the year, I’ll have 4 thirty-minute time slots available each week with no agenda required. Click here to find a time.
Context disclosure: I am offering these opportunities congruent with my role in the UUMA and as part of an extended CPE unit that I am enrolled in as part of my personal/professional development. While the sessions are confidential and within the bounds of our collegial covenant, I may reflect on them (made anonymous) in my regular supervision.
Defending Democracy: Cultivating our Clergy Networks
Are you practicing ministry in a swing state or in a state with value laden ballot initiatives before voters this fall? Have you practiced ministry in such a context in prior elections or during times of social or political uprising? We want to bring you together! (And if you are in neither position but want to be connected and informed, you are welcome to listen in and learn.)
Join us (UUMA Staff and Board leadership) on Friday, September 20, 3-5pm ET/ 2-4pm CT/ 1-3pm MT/ 12-2pm PT for a time of conversation, reflection, questions and answers between colleagues who have led in ministry through turbulent times in the public square and those who are preparing to do so this election season in the United States.
Please note – the purpose of this gathering is not really training, but rather network building, group mentoring, and collegial care. We hope you are tuned in to the excellent training resources from Side with Love and UU The Vote. Here are two that offer a wealth of information.
