SUMMARY:42nd IMN Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Interim Ministry Network Annual Conference showcases the best thinking in transitional ministry.  IMN’s Conference continues for a third year in a virtual format.

Practitioners lead workshops; keynote/plenary speakers offer wisdom\, expertise and passion; participants share their experiences; new friendships are formed; and all participants leave with nourishment and enhanced courage for their next transition. All registered conference participants will receive access to the IMN Conference Participant Webpage (CWP) Monday\, October 10th at noon Eastern. All participants are encouraged to view the pre-recorded content videos and resources prior to the conference. This access will be available through May 31\, 2023.

SUMMARY:Youth Leadership Summit
DESCRIPTION:Each year the ELCA brings young leaders from across our church to gather for a long weekend of leadership development\, networking\, and faith formation. The Youth Leadership Summit will equip young leaders through workshops\, speakers\, and experiential activities. Youth will be inspired through music and worship. Participants will be challenged to take home what they learn and inspire action in their own synods\, congregations\, and communities. Youth will also hear from leaders of young adult ministries across the ELCA to help our young people look ahead to their next faith community. This event is planned and led by the ELCA Youth Core Leadership Team and will be held at Carol Joy Holling Conference Center in Ashland\, Nebraska.

SUMMARY:Region 8 Racial Justice Training
DESCRIPTION:We are called to be a church that embraces each person and confronts racial\, ethnic\, cultural\, religious\, age\, gender\, familial\, sexual orientation\, physical\, personal and class barriers that can manifest as unjust treatment\, inequalities\, exclusion\, and violence. The ELCA’s Region 8 is committed to equipping leaders to recognize and understand the complexities and implications of racism and racial issues and is offering training in the areas of anti-racism and racial justice for leaders in partnership with synods\, congregations\, associations\, and social service agencies. \nRegion 8’s Racial Justice Training equips leaders (rostered and lay) to face the challenges of racism in a diverse\, complex and changing world by providing tools and resources that foster healthy and holy conversations. Each workshop addresses these aspects of racism: \n1) Talking about Race: language and vocabulary \n2) History and systemic racism in the United States\, and \n3) How to begin conversations and actions in your ministry context. \nEach training is offered on Zoom using a combination of instruction and small group conversation. Facilitators will represent the region to the extent possible\, spearheaded by the Reverend Carla Christopher Wilson. Cost is $25 per person; however\, if cost is a barrier\, please contact Marty Shifflett at mshifflett@lss-elca.org\, or 717-652-1852\, ext. 115. Because we want to make this training as accessible to as many people as possible\, if two people from a congregation register\, additional participants (beyond 2) from that congregation may attend at no cost. Those additional participants are required to register by contacting Marty Shifflett. \nRegion 8 is comprised of the following eight synods: Northwest PA\, Southwest PA\, Allegheny\, Lower Susquehanna\, Upper Susquehanna\, Delaware/Maryland\, Metro DC\, and West Virginia/Western Maryland. \nRacial Justice Training Opportunities \nSaturday\, February 19\, 2022\, 9AM-2PM \nFriday\, May 13\, 2022\, 12-5PM \nThursday\, August 18\, 2022\, 11AM-4PM \nMonday\, November 7\, 2022\, 10AM-3PM \nClick here to register \nAttending this training fulfills the ELCA churchwide assembly’s directive that rostered ministers participate in racial justice training every two years.
