Dear beloved members of the Mountain Sky Conference,
On the heels of the "I Dream a Church" Zoom call scheduled for Easter Monday, April 22, we invite you to a leadership webinar presented by Roxane White from Strategy with Rox.
Leadership in these uncertain times is essential and leadership in the church is all of us – laity and clergy – each and every one of us. And this is a trying time. The General Conference vote has thrust the United Methodist world into confusion. Throughout our conference, people are asking for ideas and best practices for how to lead in times of uncertainty with grace, compassion and moral courage.
What does this mean for you, your local church, and our conference? What future are we being called to? How do we lead when we are still in the wilderness? How do we come together to create and envision our future?
We invite you to a Zoom call on Tuesday, April 30 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. MDT. During this time, we will learn about the past and current state of The United Methodist Church, and what place the church has in the future. We will discuss leadership in uncertain times, and how our church can respond to the changes that are occurring. We will then turn to you to express how the Spirit has spoken to you and your feelings through this trying time. What do you dream for our church? What visions do you hold for its future in ministry and mission?
We hope that you can join us for this call. Please sign up online and you will receive call-in information for our session. Your voice is critical as we navigate these difficult times. Together, we will create the future to which God has called us.
We look forward to our conversation with Roxane White.
Blessings,
Karen Oliveto
