SUMMARY:Cultivating Compassion Session 4: Think Again
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 April 27 session: \n“What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know. It’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so.” That observation is often attributed to Mark Twain but\, ironically\, one thing we don’t actually know is who first said it. Adam Grant invites us to explore ways in which “knowing” and “certainty” keep us from learning and growing. As we work to cultivate compassion\, approaching ourselves and others with curiosity primes us to learn. Even more importantly\, this intellectual humility positions us to to connect with others more effectively. \nFull details about this session (including registration) can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cultivating-compassion-session-4-think-again-tickets-502785032567

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. Selection of the voting members by the congregation shall be on the basis of the most recently submitted annual parochial report and shall adhere to male – female formula outlined in +S7.21.c. Any congregation allotted an additional youth voting member under S7.21.01 need not consider such additional youth voting member as one of their additional voting members under this resolution.
