SUMMARY:2018 First Call Retreat
DESCRIPTION:It’s time yet again for our annual First Call Retreat. This year\, it will be held at Briarwood Retreat Center from Monday\, September 24\, to Wednesday\, September 26. Our theme this year is about tending to your own spiritual care and sharing best practices with each other. \nThere will be: \n* Fellowship & free time \n* Bible study\, worship\, and devotional elements \n* time with some spiritual directors to learn about the practice \n* opportunities for you to share with each other about your own best practices. \n* text study group time to prepare for the upcoming Sunday (if you desire) \nWhat we need to know from y’all is\, are there spiritual/relaxation practices you do that you would be willing to share/teach/guide during our Tuesday afternoon session? If so\, please let us know on your registration form. That will be helpful as we continue to develop the plans and schedule. We’re open to ideas of all kinds. \nThe $145 cost includes: \n* two nights lodging (double rooms with two full beds – sorry\, single rooms are not an option due to space & numbers) \n* breakfast & dinner for both days \n* lunch on Tuesday (lunch Monday & Wednesday are on your own\, but there are plenty of options within a few miles of Briarwood) \nTwo of the Tuesday afternoon free time options do involve an additional cost of $25\, so if you choose to participate in archery or the zip line/ropes activity at Briarwood\, please indicate that when you register\, and that cost will be added to your registration. \nWe realize that for some of you this registration cost may exceed your budget. If it is a hardship for you\, please let us know. We also know that some of you have generous continuing education budgets that may allow you to contribute to help underwrite the cost for those who need some financial assistance. If that is the case\, there is an option to do that as well with your registration. \nWe look forward to our time together in September! \nREGISTER HERE.

SUMMARY:"God's work. Our hands." Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Many of you are already making plans for “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday on Sept. 9. New resources are now available to help you organize and prepare. \nYou will find the resources you need to plan your activities and worship\, invite your neighbors and promote within your community. There are videos to watch and share for inspiration. New this year are Spanish-language postcards\, door hangers and social memes. \nYou also can order yellow “God’s work. Our hands.” T-shirts. We realize that many congregations wear their T-shirts throughout the year and do various service projects in addition to the designated day of service. Thank you for bringing Christ’s love to your communities. \nLet us know about your plans for Sept. 9 by answering a couple quick questions in our survey. This will allow us to learn more about your vital congregation and its mission in your community. If your congregation cannot participate on Sept. 9\, please consider another time. Either way\, we look forward to hearing from you. \n“God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday celebrates the work you do every day\, serving communities in ways that share the love of God with all people. We look forward to doing this work together again this year. \nGod’s peace\, \n\nChristina Jackson-Skelton \nExecutive Director\, Mission Advancement \nEvangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) \n \nWith “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday approaching\, the Life of Faith Initiative offers a new document to expand “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday from being a single day of service to a way to equip our people for a life of faith so that “every act of service\, in every daily calling\, in every corner of life flows freely from a living\, daring confidence in God’s grace.”

SUMMARY:The Bolder Board Training
DESCRIPTION:This training is being hosted by our partners at United Way of Tarrant County. \nThis is not your average board training. \nThe Bolder Board Training helps nonprofit boards awaken\, articulate\, and pursue their most magnificent dreams. It teaches boards how to work with their leaders to create audacious possibilities for impact. It is the first board training designed specifically to offer boards a pragmatic and conscientious alternative to the culture of financial deprivation and constriction that they often find themselves upholding. It is not a traditional training on governance and finance. It is an immersion in possibility and aspiration that positively and radically disrupts traditional ways of thinking. The Training takes place over the course of approximately seven hours. It is part lecture\, part workshop. It is designed specifically for boards. Organizations are encouraged to bring as many of their board members as possible. The Training can also serve as a powerful first day to a board retreat. \nI’mpossible. \nThe training liberates natural leadership instincts from the constraints of our cultural mindset about charity. It helps boards become conscious of persistent\, limiting assumptions. It is based on the idea that we are at our best\, most fully alive\, and most impactful when we are challenging assumptions of impossibility – often that we didn’t even know we had. \nClick here to learn more. \nRegister your interest in a North Texas training on Friday\, September 7. \nThe training is led by Dan Pallotta. \nDan invented the multi-day charitable event industry with the AIDSRides\, Breast Cancer 3-Days\, and Out of the Darkness suicide prevention events\, which raised over half a billion dollars in nine years and were the subject of one of the first Harvard Business School case studies on social enterprise. His 2013 TED talk on philanthropy has been viewed more than 4.3 million times and is one of the 100 most-viewed TED talks of all time. His book\, “Uncharitable\,” is the best-selling title in the history of Tufts University Press. The Stanford Social Innovation Review said that it “deserves to become the nonprofit sector’s new manifesto.” He is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review online. He is widely credited with changing the national conversation about impact and overhead in charity in America. \n\nFrom a recent email from Dan: \nHi Everyone\, \nI was in Australia week before last to give three speeches and lead the Bolder Board Training in Brisbane\, which was wonderful. We now have 100 new Australian alumni to connect with! \nSince the trip I cannot get the Sydney Opera House out of my mind. The reason I cannot\, after having seen it\, is because the idea to build it was ridiculous. The architect who designed it — Jørn Utzon — was an unknown 38 year-old Dane when his entry was announced as the winner in an international competition. His vision for a “sculptural\, curved building on the Harbour” broke radically with the linear shapes of modernist architecture. And here’s the thing: in the 1960s\, they had no idea how to build it. You know those iconic shells or sails that define it? The challenge of how to build them confounded the engineers working on it for years\, even after the foundation had been poured! Imagine pouring a foundation for a building you don’t yet know how to build! \nYou remember how\, in the Training\, we talked about commitment and declaring a possibility? Pouring that foundation\, without knowing how to build the building\, was a commitment – a declaration of possibility. It was impossible\, but their commitment to it transformed it into reality. It now not only defines that city\, but in many ways that nation. \nImagine if it had never been built. Imagine if some expert put a stop to it because of its ridiculousness. \nIf you’re not being ridiculous\, you’re not exploring your organization’s true potential. Everything in the world that makes us go “Wow\,” was born of some absurd human being with a ridiculous\, impossible idea — from the Eiffel Tower to landing on the moon to the idea of America herself. We are taught that prudence is sophistication. The opposite is true. The most sophisticated things I’ve ever seen in my life – the most intelligent solutions to the greatest technical challenges in history — all came from someone being ridiculous. Ridiculous is what really tests us. Stretches us. Forces us to use the full measures of our intelligence\, creativity\, fortitude and strength. \nAnything less and our true potential for intelligence\, creativity\, strength and fortitude gets left on the table\, never to see the light of day. \nResist the temptation to be safe\, cautious and normal. Resist it in all things. Resist it with every fiber of your being. Lives are at stake in our work. Be ridiculous on their behalf. \nDan

SUMMARY:Rev. Nadia Bolz-Weber: "Stop saying the church is dying!"
DESCRIPTION:“The church is dying!” It’s a phrase we hear within and outside of the church all too often. Average worship attendance keeps going down. The average age of regular church attendeees keeps going up. Professions of faith are far and few between. And yet\, in the midst of what seems like terrible news\, God keeps showing up. New faith communities and creative ways of being church keep forming. People who feel lost\, unwanted\, or leftout keep being found. \nStop saying the church is dying! \nJoin Nadia Bolz-Weber for this one-night only event\, as she brings to light some of the beautiful and creative ways in which the church is not only alive\, but thriving. \nHosted by our friends at Arborlawn UMC\, 5001 Briarhaven Rd\, Fort Worth\, TX 76109. \nDoors open at 6pm. Event: 7-8pm. \nNADIA BOLZ-WEBER is the author of two New York Times bestselling memoirs: Pastrix; The Cranky\, Beautiful Faith of a Sinner & Saint (2013) and Accidental Saints; Finding God in All the Wrong People (2015). She is an ordained Lutheran pastor (ELCA) and still works as the founding pastor of House for All Sinners and Saints in Denver\, Colorado. Nadia travels domestically and internationally as a speaker and has been featured on NPR’s Morning Edition\, On Being with Krista Tippett\, Fresh Air\, CNN and in the Washington Post\, Bitch magazine\, The Daily Beast\, More magazine and The Atlantic.

SUMMARY:Dr. Michael W. Waters to discuss "Stakes Is High: Race\, Faith\, and Hope for America"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Michael W. Waters\, author and founding pastor of Joy Tabernacle A.M.E. Church in Dallas\, will discuss Stakes Is High: Race\, Faith\, and Hope for America. Dr. Waters is a sought-after speaker\, community leader\, and social commentator. He has received numerous awards and was listed among the Dallas Business Journal’s 2015 “40 Under 40.” \nFrom the press release: \n“At times\, the mantle of ministry mandates that you both see and hear difficult things. Prophetic ministry then requires that you speak out concerning what you have witnessed. Always\, the mantle of ministry requires courage.” \nThose words are from the book Stakes Is High: Race\, Faith and Hope for America\, and they are powerful words indeed. The book’s author\, the Rev. Dr. Michael W. Waters\, will bring his message of hope and empowerment in the realm of social justice to King of Glory Lutheran Church’s GUSTO! program at 10 a.m. on Monday\, May 14. \nWaters is an award-winning author\, community leader and social commentator. He is founding pastor of Joy Tabernacle A.M.E. Church and an adjunct professor at Southern Methodist University’s Perkins School of Theology. He is well known in Dallas and across the country for speaking out on current issues such as diversity\, ethical leadership\, race\, religion and even hip hop culture. His words of hope and empowerment have inspired national and international audiences. \nWaters was a Dallas Business Journal 40 Under 40 honoree and received SMU’s Distinguished Alumni Emerging Leader award\, the university’s highest honor\, both in 2015. He holds bachelor’s\, master’s and doctoral degrees from SMU. In 2016 he received the Dallas-Fort Worth Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Community Leader of the Year award. He has been featured in EBONY magazine among America’s emerging leaders and has appeared on national TV and in the press. Recent commentaries have been published in The Dallas Morning News. Waters’ book Stakes Is High contains narratives of racial violence and offers ways people can live out their faith for the cause of social justice. Sojourners magazine\, shortly after the book’s release in 2017\, wrote that “Michael W. Waters…is both blunt and lyrical as he meditates on police violence\, racism\, hip-hop\, and the power of faith.” The book will be available for purchase and author signing following the meeting. \nStakes Is High earned the Wilbur Award at the April 2018 conference of the Religion Communicators Council. Wilbur Awards are given to promote and encourage excellence in the communication of religious faith and positive values through a variety of secular media. Waters first book\, Freestyle: Reflections on Faith\, Family\, Justice\, and Pop Culture\, was published in 2014. In it Waters confronts issues within the urban community such as addiction\, education\, incarceration\, family issues and absentee fathers. His latest book\, For Beautiful Black Boys Who Believe in a Better World\, is soon to be released. \nFor more information: \nExcerpt from Stakes Is High: Race\, Faith\, and Hope for America | In this collection of columns written originally for The Huffington Post\, the Rev. Michael W. Waters offers stories from the front lines and offers ways that he and others can live out their faith for the cause of social justice. \nStakes Is High: An Interview on Race\, Faith\, and Hope with Michael Waters | The Rev. Michael Waters talks about his new book\, Stakes Is High: Race\, Faith\, and Hope for America and what we can do to build a more just world for African Americans and all people. \nGood God Episode #3: Reverend Michael Waters | George Mason and Michael W. Waters of Joy Tabernacle AME Church discuss economic justice\, poverty\, race relations in Dallas and America\, and how we can address it with our faith.
