SUMMARY:Weekly Online Gathering for ELCA Leaders
DESCRIPTION:Here to Serve: Being Church in the Time of COVID-19 \nWeekly Online Gathering for ELCA Leaders \nWednesdays\, 1:00 PM Central \nYou are invited to join this weekly meeting designed to provide encouragement and support for ELCA leaders in all realms. Participants will hear topical presentations related to how we are called to be Church in the time of COVID-19\, as well as an opportunity to be in small group discussions with an ELCA group coach facilitating the conversation. All of this is designed to help us process our feelings in this strange and fearful time and to create a space where we can each name our next most faithful step forward in our unique context. \nYou are welcome to share this invitation with any other ELCA leader\, rostered or lay. #ELCAChurchTogether #HereToServe \nGrief and Hope: Societal Chaplaincy For and Beyond COVID-19 \nThis session will explore the concept of “societal chaplaincy” in order to provide tools for responding to the COVID-19 coronavirus crisis. This global crisis is producing layers of grief and trauma beyond what most people are anticipating. Religiously informed leaders have particular callings to respond not just to their defined communities\, but to society as a whole\, helping others name their grief while pointing to paths forward. The insights of social analysis\, grief coaching\, and chaplaincy each have contributions to make as we move forward together. In preparation for this week’s gathering\, we highly recommend you read this article in advance: https://www.ntnl.org/societal-chaplaincy-preparing-for-the-storm-to-come/. \nOn April 22\, our guest speaker will be Robert O. Smith (Citizen\, Chickasaw Nation)\, an ordained Minister of Word and Sacrament serving as Director of Briarwood Leadership Center and Associate to the Bishop in the Northern Texas-Northern Louisiana Synod of the ELCA. Previously\, he served as Director of the Jerusalem Global Gateway of the University of Notre Dame and Area Program Director for the Middle East and North Africa in the Global Mission Unit of the ELCA. He holds a PhD in Religion\, Politics & Society from Baylor University\, along with an MDiv and an MA in Islamic Studies from Luther Seminary. He is the author of several academic articles on the theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and several books on American Christian responses to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. \nELCA Coaching is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nTopic: Being Church in the Time of COVID-19 – Weekly Gathering for ELCA Leaders\nTime: Apr 22\, 2020 01:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://zoom.us/j/180439412?pwd=WlVwUUxyUE5mY2IxMktHQXFJdGNMdz09\nMeeting ID: 180 439 412\nPassword: 648160 \nOne tap mobile\n+13462487799\,\,180439412#\,\,#\,648160# US (Houston)\n+16699006833\,\,180439412#\,\,#\,648160# US (San Jose) \nDial by your location\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US\n+1 301 715 8592 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\nMeeting ID: 180 439 412\nPassword: 648160 \nYou may have heard concerns around using Zoom as a meeting platform.

SUMMARY:2020 Synod Assembly POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:As of March 31\, Synod Assembly has officially been postponed. It was our hope that we could find a date on which Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie would be able to commit to being with us. However\, given the continued fluidity of this crisis\, we have not yet been able to confirm that. So what does this mean… \n\nThose who need to submit assembly reports should do so as soon as possible to jason@ntnl.org. We will still produce the assembly resources and make them available online.\nOn April 25\, Bishop Gronberg will release a “state of the synod” video report similar to his bishop’s report at assembly.\nAll assembly registrations will be refunded when NT-NL office staff are able to be back in the office full-time (please be patient with us).\nIf you made reservations at the Lorenzo Hotel with our code\, we will have them cancel that reservation and send you a confirmation. If you do not receive that within 10 business days after April 1\, please contact them.\nWe will look for a date\, hopefully in late summer/early fall\, that we can gather at Paul Quinn College for a shortened assembly business session and then festival worship to celebrate together in person (what a joy that will be!) and also the 50th anniversary of the ordination of pastors who are women.\nWe are looking at an August date to host a luncheon at Briarwood for those with ordination anniversaries.\nAs available\, more details will be forthcoming.\n\nAssembly Reference Materials \n\nScripture: “The Lord has done great things for us\, and we rejoiced.” Psalm 126:3 (NRSV) \nTheme | Tema: Crossing Borders | Cruzando Fronteras \n \nWe are excited to partner with Paul Quinn College (PQC)\, the oldest HBCU (Historically Black College and University) in Texas\, to bring our Assembly to South Dallas. Learn more about PQC in this recent news article: Nestled in a poor Dallas neighborhood\, Paul Quinn College aims to be a national model for overcoming poverty. \n \nWe are honored to have African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie as our preacher for this year’s Assembly! Bishop McKenzie is the presiding Bishop of the 10th Episcopal District AME church and serves as the 117th elected and consecrated bishop of the AME Church. Her election in 2000 was historic as she became the first woman\, in the more than 200-year history of the church\, to be elected to that office. Watch this recent local news interview with her: First Woman Bishop Talks Life Lessons for All Faiths. \nELCA Churchwide Representative: Pastor Christopher Otten\, Assistant to the Presiding Bishop and Director of Federal Chaplaincies \nAssembly offering: half to the Eastern conference for hosting us\, and half to the new Stewardship team \nTentative Summary Agenda (updated March 7) \nREGISTRATION HAS BEEN SUSPENDED. \nRegistration Fees: \nVoting Member Early Bird (until March 15) = $150 \nVoting Member Regular (March 16 – April 12) = $185 \nVoting Member On-Site = $225 \nRetired Rostered Voting Member Early Bird (until March 15) = $125 \nRetired Rostered Voting Member Regular (March 16 – April 12) = $150 \nRetired Rostered Voting Member On-Site = $165 \nVisitors Early Bird (until March 15) = $50 \nVisitors Regular (March 16 – April 12) = $75 \nVisitors On-Site = $100 \nVendors = $150 \nDisplayers = $75 \nHard Copy of Assembly Reference Materials (previously called the Book of Reports) = $25 \nMeals provided with registration = 3 (three) \nOfficial Assembly Hotel: Lorenzo Hotel\, 1011 S Akard St\, Dallas\, TX 75215  |  214-273-3000 \nRegister with the hotel here. (see note above) \nA question often asked is… “Can we book at a different hotel or motel for a cheaper rate?”\nOur answer: With the proliferation of online travel sites\, indeed\, it is possible you would be able to find a better rate at another hotel. Because of this\, there has been conversation about the synod not offering a preferred hotel at all and allowing assembly members to find their own lodging. \nBut we are still having a preferred hotel. Why? First and foremost\, at Assembly\, we build a community. We know from experience that this happens best when we are all together\, both formally and informally. Through connections and time together. Given how short our assembly is\, this time is at a premium\, and we encourage fellowship. \nSecondly\, many of our assembly voting members are coming from other parts of the state. As a result\, they appreciate having a vetted hotel option so they don’t have to try to do so themselves in a city or location they do not know well. \nFinally\, it is a stewardship opportunity. We sign a contract with the hotel guaranteeing our group will book a minimum number of rooms. Because of this guarantee\, the hotel gives us better rates\, some complimentary rooms for staff/presenters (which lowers synod costs)\, and deals on meeting space. These elements all help make Synod Assembly possible and help us keep our rates lower (assembly registration rates are 40% lower than in 2016). \nIf you book elsewhere\, it could jeopardize our ability to meet our contract obligations\, and the cost of our annual Assembly would go up. So\, if you are able\, please book at the Lorenzo Hotel using our link to guarantee your reduced rate and help support Assembly for all! \n(Please note: While there are other hotels closer to the college\, none were able to offer us a room block.) \nTexas Hotel Occupancy Tax Forms \n \n
