The Neighborhood Church has a unique vision to “Change Church. Create Relationship.” Changing Church is a reality that moved The Neighborhood from a school cafeteria to a store front in between a Gym and a Mexican restaurant to a horse arena\, stable\, and barn. The Neighborhood has also embraced change in ministry with Pastor Joe and Deacon Jess establishing relationships with seminaries to create courses and pilot programs for LIFEgroups\, church leadership\, and bible studies. Currently\, they are working on launching The Neighborhood Church University\, a collaborative effort to lead and learn alongside the local church through conferences\, courses\, and curriculum for children’s ministry. Pastor Joe and Deacon Jess are surrounded by their two children: Caylee (12)\, an aspiring singer and volleyball player\, and Landen (10)\, a future YouTube star. Their favorite time together outside their church work involves bringing the kids out in the camper to National Parks across the US and taking hikes to secluded waterfalls. \nCheck out their recent Courageous Leadership presentation via ELCA Coaching: Leadership Challenges in a Digital Ministry Presence. \nOffering: Half of the offering will go to the NT-NL Eastern Conference for hosting us\, and the other half of the offering will go to the NT-NL Synod for transition support for congregations. \n \nChurchwide representative: Javier Goitia \nImportant note regarding Voting Members: Congregations shall be allotted additional voting members as follows: up to 500 baptized members\, two voting members; 501 – 750 baptized members\, 3 voting members; 751 – 1000 baptized members\, 4 voting members; 1001 or more baptized members\, 5 voting members.

SUMMARY:Cultivating Compassion Session 5: The Righteous Mind
DESCRIPTION:The NT-NL Public Witness Team for Peace & Justice are partnering with the United States Christian Leadership Organization (USCLO)\, Charter for Compassion Social Justice Sector\, and Kairos + Collaborative to offer this set of FREE online episodes and practice sessions to help Make This Your Year to Cultivate Compassion! \n“You’re invited to spend 2023 growing compassion for yourself\, your friends\, and even those who today you might describe as enemies. We’ll interrogate our emotions\, reasoning\, decision-making\, and more as we work to join the infinite game of building peace.” \nAccess the full list of episodes and sessions here. \n\nSpecifically about this May 25 session: \nEven when we work to separate our observations from judgements we make about them\, the judgements remain. We still apply a moral framework\, some way of prioritizing what’s important to us. Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt invites us to examine the moral frameworks we use to tell right from wrong. As we explore these frameworks\, we’ll be applying what we’ve learned about thinking\, empathizing\, and feeling to regard one another in a new way\, opening ourselves to the humanity of the people we “other.” \nFull details about this session (including registration) can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cultivating-compassion-session-5-the-righteous-mind-tickets-502828542707

SUMMARY:Cultivating Compassion Session 6: Practice - Critical Race Theory
DESCRIPTION:The NT-NL Public Witness Team for Peace & Justice are partnering with the United States Christian Leadership Organization (USCLO)\, Charter for Compassion Social Justice Sector\, and Kairos + Collaborative to offer this set of FREE online episodes and practice sessions to help Make This Your Year to Cultivate Compassion! \n“You’re invited to spend 2023 growing compassion for yourself\, your friends\, and even those who today you might describe as enemies.

Now we’ll practice combining those skills in this month’s practice session with Critical Race Theory as the topic. \nFull details about this session (including registration) can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cultivating-compassion-session-3-virtual-practice-disproportionality-tickets-502967528417

SUMMARY:Western States Youth Gathering 2023
DESCRIPTION:The Western States Youth Gathering (WSYG) and Western States Multicultural Youth Leadership Event (WYLE) is back! Coming to California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks\, CA\, July 4-9\, 2023\, the Western States Youth Gathering is open to high school aged youth in Regions 1-4 of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). \nWSYG and WYLE will gather around the theme\, “Revive\, Reunite\, Rejoice”\, grounded in Acts 2:1 “When the day [of WSYG] came\, they were all together in one place.” \nWith nearly 35 years of history\, WSYG is a multi-day youth gathering that gives high schoolers the opportunity to explore their faith\, gather as a community through creative team-building activities and workshops\, and enjoy endless summer fun all under the Southern California sunshine. In 2017\, the WSYG planning team hosted the first ever Western States Multicultural Youth Leadership Event (WYLE). WYLE is a pre-gathering intended for students of color and/or youth groups that makes up at least 20% persons of color\, taking place the few days leading up to WSYG. \nThis year’s event will feature an outdoor festival-style main stage\, interactive and service learning opportunities\, team-building activities with our lutheran outdoor ministries\, creative worship elements\, and exciting nightlife events. \nAfter a cancelled 2020 event due to the COVID-19 pandemic and with a new core leadership team\, this year’s WSYG and WYLE may look a bit different\, but will still center the good news that Christ dwells among us and through us. With synodical sponsorship from the Southwest California Synod and Pacifica Synod\, WSYG and WYLE hopes to bring together over 500 participants from as far east as Minnesota\, down south to the Gulf-Coast\, up north to Alaska\, and out west to the islands of Hawai’i. \nRegistration for WSYG and WYLE opens Monday\, Oct. 3\, 2022\, at $385 per person\, with prices increasing Jan. 4\, 2023. Registration spots can be reserved with an early bird registration deposit of $115 per person. https://www.wsyg.com/

SUMMARY:Cultivating Compassion Session 7: The Wild Edge of Sorrow
DESCRIPTION:The NT-NL Public Witness Team for Peace & Justice are partnering with the United States Christian Leadership Organization (USCLO)\, Charter for Compassion Social Justice Sector\, and Kairos + Collaborative to offer this set of FREE online episodes and practice sessions to help Make This Your Year to Cultivate Compassion! \n“You’re invited to spend 2023 growing compassion for yourself\, your friends\, and even those who today you might describe as enemies. We’ll interrogate our emotions\, reasoning\, decision-making\, and more as we work to join the infinite game of building peace.” \nAccess the full list of episodes and sessions here. \n\nSpecifically about this July 27 session: \nOne of the great paradoxes of life in the United States is that while we all experience loss\, we’re largely left on our own to process and integrate it. As we begin moving our attention from the interior world where we’ve spent the first half of this series\, we look to Francis Weller for what he calls “an apprenticeship with sorrow.” This opportunity to face our own losses\, whatever they may be\, is a crucial step toward facing others’ loss. Even more importantly\, it equips us to be present to the loss and suffering in the world without being overcome by it. \nFull details about this session (including registration) can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cultivating-compassion-session-7-the-wild-edge-of-sorrow-tickets-502847770217

This kind of love invites us to experience the depth of being human\, embracing joy\, grief\, anger\, and wonder as we learn to love each other. \nFull details about this session (including registration) can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cultivating-compassion-session-8-see-no-stranger-tickets-502901430717

SUMMARY:Cultivating Compassion Session 9: Unsettling Truths
DESCRIPTION:The NT-NL Public Witness Team for Peace & Justice are partnering with the United States Christian Leadership Organization (USCLO)\, Charter for Compassion Social Justice Sector\, and Kairos + Collaborative to offer this set of FREE online episodes and practice sessions to help Make This Your Year to Cultivate Compassion! \n“You’re invited to spend 2023 growing compassion for yourself\, your friends\, and even those who today you might describe as enemies. We’ll interrogate our emotions\, reasoning\, decision-making\, and more as we work to join the infinite game of building peace.” \nAccess the full list of episodes and sessions here. \n\nSpecifically about this September 28 session: \n“Columbus sailed the ocean blue; in fourteen hundredy ninety-two\,” so says the song from 4th grade. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that in 1493\, Pope Alexander VI issued a document titled “Inter Caetera” in which he grants possession of everything west of the 39°W meridian to whichever European Christians get there first\, ignoring the reality that these lands were already possessed by the people who lived there. This writing\, along with Pope Nicholas V’s 1455 “Romanus Pontifex\,” laid the foundation for what we now call the “Doctrine of Discovery.” In the process\, these men invoke God’s name to encourage dehumanizing\, enslaving\, and dispossessing humans\, behavior diametrically opposed to the way of Christ. It’s also true that Pope Paul III declared in 1537 that “Indians [sic] and all other people who may later be discovered by Christians …should\, freely and legitimately\, enjoy their liberty and possession of their property; nor should they be in any way enslaved.” That didn’t keep US chief justice John Marshall from referencing “Inter Caetera” as part of the court’s 1823 decision in Johnson v.

SUMMARY:Cultivating Compassion Session 10: A People's History of the United States
DESCRIPTION:The NT-NL Public Witness Team for Peace & Justice are partnering with the United States Christian Leadership Organization (USCLO)\, Charter for Compassion Social Justice Sector\, and Kairos + Collaborative to offer this set of FREE online episodes and practice sessions to help Make This Your Year to Cultivate Compassion! \n“You’re invited to spend 2023 growing compassion for yourself\, your friends\, and even those who today you might describe as enemies. We’ll interrogate our emotions\, reasoning\, decision-making\, and more as we work to join the infinite game of building peace.” \nAccess the full list of episodes and sessions here. \n\nSpecifically about this October 26 session: \nWe love a good story\, with its protagonists and antagonists\, plot twists and conflicts. As we read narratives of fact or fiction\, it’s natural to identify with the hero and despise the villian. In his 1889 biography of Charles George Gordon\, William Francis Butler observed\, “…it is the victor who writes the history and counts the dead\, and to the vanquished in such a struggle there only remains the dull memory of an unnumbered and unwritten sorrow.” We know that for every happening\, there are at least as many stories as there are observers\, often more. Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States” attempts to give voice to those stories often unrepresented in our discussion of history. The result is devastating\, but its goal is hope. Zinn says\, “I am supposing\, or perhaps only hoping\, that our future may be found in the past’s fugitive moments compassion rather than in its solid centuries of warfare.” \nFull details about this session (including registration) can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cultivating-compassion-session-10-a-peoples-history-of-the-united-states-tickets-502917910007

SUMMARY:Cultivating Compassion Session 12: Finite and Infinite Games
DESCRIPTION:The NT-NL Public Witness Team for Peace & Justice are partnering with the United States Christian Leadership Organization (USCLO)\, Charter for Compassion Social Justice Sector\, and Kairos + Collaborative to offer this set of FREE online episodes and practice sessions to help Make This Your Year to Cultivate Compassion! \n“You’re invited to spend 2023 growing compassion for yourself\, your friends\, and even those who today you might describe as enemies. We’ll interrogate our emotions\, reasoning\, decision-making\, and more as we work to join the infinite game of building peace.” \nAccess the full list of episodes and sessions here. \n\nSpecifically about this January 4 session: \nAcross disciplines as diverse as marketing\, education\, health\, and management\, “gamification” draws on our capacity to play to help us move ourselves and others toward a goal. Books like Burlingham and Stack’s “The Great Game of Business” and Boller and Kapp’s “Play to Learn” provide examples of how to apply this concept. With computers or consoles\, balls or marbles\, cards or boards\, humans love games. The subtitle of this month’s book is “a vision of life as play and possibility.” In it\, Carse invites us to frame our lives\, at work\, at home\, in society\, as play and to choose what kind of game it will be. He says there are at least two kinds of games: “A finite game is played for the purpose of winning\, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.” When we play a finite game with an opponent playing an infinite game\, we’re destined to lose. The forces in our world that oppose peace and justice\, as well as the empathy and compassion that leads to peace and justice\, are playing an infinite game. We close this series with Carse’s work to inspire infinite strategies in which we might bring to life our role in bending “the arc of the moral universe … toward justice.” \nFull details about this session (including registration) can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cultivating-compassion-session-12-finite-and-infinite-games-tickets-502953426237

SUMMARY:Public Witness Team meeting
DESCRIPTION:Welcome! We are the Public Witness Team for Peace and Justice of the Northern Texas-Northern Louisiana (NT-NL) Synod of the ELCA. We meet on the second Saturday of most months.

One of our goals is to assist congregations in the NT-NL Synod in their efforts to be a public church within their own communities. \nFor our 2023 meetings\, the plan is to host a hybrid meeting in-person at Shepherd of Life Lutheran Church in Arlington\, TX\, with Zoom connection available for those who would prefer that. \n\nAnyone is welcome to join us! \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/88956792219?pwd=SWo5YjVaelFEbTB5Q2JDRnVKc20zdz09Meeting ID: 889 5679 2219Passcode: MTtJDJQW88 \nOne tap mobile+13462487799\,\,88956792219#\,\,\,\,*8614505675# US (Houston)+12532158782\,\,88956792219#\,\,\,\,*8614505675# US (Tacoma)Dial by your location        +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)        +1 669 444 9171 US        +1 719 359 4580 US        +1 720 707 2699 US (Denver)        +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)        +1 309 205 3325 US        +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)        +1 360 209 5623 US        +1 386 347 5053 US        +1 507 473 4847 US        +1 564 217 2000 US        +1 646 558 8656 US (New York)        +1 646 931 3860 US        +1 689 278 1000 US        +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)Meeting ID: 889 5679 2219Passcode: 8614505675
