SUMMARY:ELCA Extravaganza 2021
DESCRIPTION:The Extravaganza is the annual gathering of children\, youth\, and family ministry leaders from across the ELCA. It is so much more than a conference: it’s space to be stretched\, it’s worship\, it’s inspiring speakers\, it’s learning from colleagues across the country\, it’s sharing your insights with others\, it’s informative and transformative. The Extravaganza is renewing\, educational\, and connects you with others…then sends you home strengthened for the ministry to which you have been called. \nThe Extravaganza is for the professional and the volunteer. It is for the old and the young. It is for the urban\, the suburban\, and the rural. It is for pastors\, it is for lay people. It is for all adult leaders who share in the adventure we call children\, youth\, and family ministry! \nLocation: Online \n\nFor 2021: \nThe scriptures are full of stories of God’s people holding loosely to their plans and learning to trust in the grace and the mission of God. \nAnd so\, as God’s people\, we are reminded that grace is a gift of God\, and trust follows grace. God calls on God’s people to trust in God’s abundance\, love and promise. Too often\, we try and maintain our own sense of control. But if ministry in 2020 has taught us anything\, it has taught us that we are not in control. The world is a broken\, turbulent place and we cannot navigate these troubled waters by ourselves. \nAnd so\, obediently\, we trust in the work of the Holy Spirit in the midst of turbulent times. And we partner with God\, serving as God’s hands doing God’s work in a world that is in need of hope. \nWe hold loosely\, letting go of our need to control\, creating space for the Spirit to work\, and trusting in God\, who has a vision for the world. \nExtravaganza 2021 will explore God’s call to hold loosely to our own plans\, and our need to control\, and to trust in the one who comes to create\, to redeem and to sustain. God’s call for us to “Hold Loosely” and trust is more important now than ever\, as we live and do ministry in a time of pandemic\, of racial injustice and unrest\, of social division and political turmoil. \nOur conversations at #ext21 will center around five questions: \n\n\nHow do we help those we work with navigate the grief of losing “normal?” How do we navigate that same grief for ourselves?\nHow do we care for ourselves in the midst of accompanying others in their pain?\nHow do we navigate change?\nWhat should we do next?\nHow do we find hope in the midst of chaos?\n\n\nIt is in the words of Ephesians 2:8 that we are reminded that we place our trust in God’s grace\, which provides guidance and direction during these hard days. And that this grace is a gift that we discover when we hold loosely. \n“For by grace you have been saved through faith\, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” – Ephesians 2:8

SUMMARY:2021 Tri-Theological Conference
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe 2021 Tri-Theological Conference with Professor Michael DeJonge \nCo-sponsored by the Southwestern Texas Synod\, Gulf Coast Synod\, Northern Texas-Northern Louisiana Synod\, and Briarwood Leadership Center \nThis is an online event. \n  \n\nDietrich Bonhoeffer in conversation with his twin sister\, Sabine \n  \nBonhoeffer\, Struggle\, and Resistance\nMonday\, January 25\, 2–4pm (all times Central) \nThe life of Lutheran pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906–1945) is often interpreted through his participation in plots to assassinate Adolf Hitler. While his prayer and discernment led him to that point\, his call for direct resistance to unjust actions of the state began much earlier. This session will introduce Bonhoeffer\, his context\, and his increasing calls for resistance\, both within the church and in direct word and action against the state. \n  \nBonhoeffer the Lutheran\nTuesday\, January 26\, 10am–Noon \nBonhoeffer has become a broadly popular figure throughout western Christianity. His stance against Adolf Hitler\, the Third Reich\, and accommodating elements within German Christianity cost him his life. Studies of his life and thought\, however\, have not always taken into account the specificity of his Lutheran commitments. How\, for instance\, does Lutheranism inform Bonhoeffer’s approach to pacifism and violence? What can that teach Lutherans about our tradition today? \n  \nBonhoeffer’s Politics and Our Own\nTuesday\, January 26\, 2–4pm \nBonhoeffer is often referenced when people are seeking faithful responses to political crises. All sides of the US political spectrum have wondered if we are in a “Bonhoeffer moment.” Bonhoeffer’s historical\, political\, and cultural context was quite distinct from the early 21st-Century United States. In what ways can Bonhoeffer’s theological commitments help interpret political realities today? How can those insights inform faithful leadership and proclamation in the midst of current struggles? \n  \nCost: $75 ($50 early-bird special until December 18)\nRegistration closes at 10am Central on January 25\nREGISTER HERE. \nDownload a flyer here to share. \n  \n \nMichael P. DeJonge is Professor and Chair of Religious Studies at the University of South Florida. He researches the history of Christian thought and issues involving religion and politics. \nDeJonge has been a Fulbright Scholar\, a Fellow of the Berlin Program for Advanced German and European Studies\, a Volkswagen/Mellon Fellow at the Leibniz-Institute for European History in Mainz\, Germany\, and Visiting Dietrich Bonhoeffer Professor of Theology and Ethics at Union Theological Seminary in New York. \nHis scholarship has focused on the twentieth-century German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer\, with monographs including Bonhoeffer’s Theological Formation (Oxford\, 2012)\, Bonhoeffer’s Reception of Luther (Oxford\, 2017)\, and Bonhoeffer on Resistance: The Word Against the Wheel (Oxford\, 2018). \n  \n \nEvent Structure \nThe conference organizers intend for this event to be directly relevant to your daily vocation and service in church and society. We are seeking to foster sustained\, engaged conversation in addition to providing important content in Prof. DeJonge’s presentations. \nEach of the conference’s scheduled sessions will include a breakout opportunity. In order to facilitate focused conversation\, our request is that you come to the breakout session with one overarching question and one significant quote from the text assigned for that session. \nFeel free to emphasize your personal responses and commitments as you engage the text. Our conversations will be enriched if you choose quotes that resonate with you and craft questions that are open-ended (questions that can’t be answered with a simple “yes” or “no”). \nLike you\, Bonhoeffer was a Christian leader deeply engaged with and challenged by his context. Your personal reflections on your life of service will carry us forward throughout our time together. \n  \nIntended Audience  \nThis gathering is open for all people interested in the overarching topic\, both lay and rostered. Our two-hour sessions will be structured to include a significant presentation from Prof. Michael DeJonge\, ample time for discussion in breakout sessions\, and time for sharing in plenary. Each session will have options for compact but in-depth reading intended to enrich conversation throughout the event. \n  \nRecommended Readings \nMichael P.

SUMMARY:Living Connected Workshop on Creation’s Gift of Waste

The exception is our species\, which declares things useless and buries or incinerates them. This Living Connected workshop will: \n\nReflect on the way our systems make it easy to be wasteful;\nDiscuss spiritual practices for viewing waste differently; and\nProvide resources for making faith-based choices about waste.\n\nNT-NL Public Witness is offering this workshop online twice in January 2021. The presenter is Katrina Martich\, a Lutheran Deaconess and licensed environmental engineer in Texas. \nSaturday\, January 23\, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM CST \nTuesday\, January 26\, 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM CST \nRegister at katrinamartich.com for the Zoom link. \nLiving Connected presents creation care as a spiritual discipline\, formed by using the gifts of creation in just and loving ways. Workshops are offered at a reduced cost thanks to a grant from the NT-NL Synod Mission Endowment Fund. For more information\, send an email to Katrina at contact@katrinamartich.com

SUMMARY:Systems Theory and Anxiety workshop
DESCRIPTION:When: January 7th\, 1-2pm Central\nCost: Free\nVenue: Zoom (see link below)\n\n\n\nDeacon Mary Ann Schwabe’s presentation will give a refresher course on System Theory and dig into how anxiety affects all of our relationships and the systems – family\, congregation\, society. Discussing the difference between chronic and acute anxiety\, this presentation is intended to give us language for ongoing conversations throughout 2021. \nThroughout 2020 church leaders have experienced new and different forms of pressure. 2021 will bring another set of these pressures as we continue to engage an environment of pandemic\, political challenges and division in society. Anxiety increases tension\, understanding your role as leader in that anxiety\, owning that\, and processing it will make you a more effective leader. \nMary Ann Schwabe is a Deacon who serves as the Natural Systems Coordinator in the Office of the Presiding Bishop for the churchwide office in Chicago. \n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://zoom.us/j/94824486019?pwd=NnVwTUpIN3BKWmVHMTdRMzFvQzdtdz09 \nMeeting ID: 948 2448 6019\nPasscode: 918223 \nOne tap mobile\n+13462487799\,\,94824486019#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,918223# US (Houston)\n+16699006833\,\,94824486019#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,918223# 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 (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington D.C)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 948 2448 6019\nPasscode: 918223

SUMMARY:Longest Night / Blue Christmas Service
DESCRIPTION:On December 21st at 7pm\, the NT-NL synod will be hosting an online Longest Night / Blue Christmas worship opportunity. This service is a time of reflection\, prayer\, music\, and draws attention to the reality that while Christmas is a joyful time we also know it can and does bring many griefs. In 2020 in particular it is wise to take time to grieve the many losses we have experienced and continue to experience due to the Covid-19 pandemic while also reflecting on the promise of Immanuel\, God with Us\, coming in the Christ child. \nIn this year when we will have a Christmas unlike any other we invite you to share a time of worship and reflection acknowledging our griefs and losses\, taking seriously those feelings and hurts\, while also hearing words of hope shared in community. \nBishop Gronberg preaching. Rev. Phil Heinz presiding\, and Calvary\, Richland Hills\, musicians providing worship leadership. \nThe service will be livestreamed from Calvary\, Richland Hills\, and shared on our NT-NL Facebook page. \nHere’s a link to the bulletin for the service.

SUMMARY:Conversations at Briarwood: Public Faith\, Part 2
DESCRIPTION:How can politics be faithful? Christians in the United States are of many different minds. Sometimes\, church can feel hyper-partisan. Other church folk want to disengage from politics. Are there really only two sides to community issues\, and do we always have to disagree? How do faith and fear shape our response to the world as we seek to live in love as followers of Jesus? How can our participation in civic life be grounded in the Gospel of Jesus Christ? \nAs the US approaches “Election Day” in the election season already underway\, these upcoming “Conversations at Briarwood” with prominent Evangelical leaders Hunter Baker and Shane Claiborne will help us explore these questions together. The divide between evangelical and mainline Christians in the US can sometimes seem like we’re the Republican and Democratic parties at prayer. How can we get beyond partisanship to the task of crafting new forms of public faith? \nConversations will be online\, using Zoom.

SUMMARY:Online Synod Assembly
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 26\, 1:00-4:30pm \n*For Voting Members attending today\, friendly reminder we will need to occasionally lock the webinar (meaning you will not be able to join) when we need to produce credentialing reports and do voting. You can find the approximate times in the proposed agenda.* \nREGISTRATION DETAILS: \n\nVoting Members registered in advance (by Friday\, September 18) to be able to attend and vote in this year’s Assembly. You will receive a reminder email from Zoom containing information about joining the webinar the day before\, and one hour before\, Assembly. You may need to check your junk / spam folder. Once you log into the Zoom webinar\, be sure your name reflects how you registered so that you can be confirmed and allowed to vote. \nWe will be live streaming to the NT-NL Facebook page (no account required) and recording this event for all other attendees. \n\n\n— — — \n\nTo access the Assembly Reference Materials: https://www.ntnl.org/2020-assembly-reference-materials/ (more items to be added in the coming weeks) \nImportant notes for this year’s Assembly: \nThanks to our good stewardship in previous years\, we can offer this online experience at no cost to congregations. \nEach voting member will need their own email address to register\, and they will need to log into the Zoom webinar on September 26 with that same email address. \nEach voting member will need to access the Zoom webinar with their own device to be able to vote. Ideally\, this would be a computer so that polling (our voting option this year) is easily seen and accessed. If a tablet or phone is the only option\, we highly recommend practicing before Assembly on how to access all the functions of Zoom webinars on each device\, specifically where to find the poll option in a timely manner when that opens for each ballot. \nIf any voting member does not have access to any type of device to be able to login into (not call into) the Zoom webinar\, please contact jason@ntnl.org as soon as possible\, and we will research options. We will need to know this by Monday\, August 31. \nIf any voting member needs translation in Spanish (there is a language interpretation option within Zoom webinars)\, please contact jason@ntnl.org by Monday\, August 31\, and we’ll do our best to get that set up. \nEvery voting member must be registered by Friday\, September 18. No exceptions\, no late registrations\, and no “walk-ins” will be allowed this year. There are more requirements for online voting than in person\, and we need time to implement them to ensure every voting member can be confirmed and their votes are secure. \nWe will hold two orientations (30-45 minutes each) prior to Assembly: Tuesday\, September 22\, 7pm\, and Wednesday\, September 23\, 11am. If you are new to Zoom or have ever had issues with Zoom or your device\, please plan to log in up to 30 minutes prior to the orientation to troubleshoot with Jason beforehand. We highly recommend every voting member attend at least one orientation to help us avoid being overwhelmed with requests the day of Assembly. \nWe ask that all Assembly\, including technology-related\, questions be routed to jason@ntnl.org. Especially starting Friday\, September 18\, and through Assembly on Saturday\, September 26\, the rest of synod staff and the Council executive team will be largely unavailable to answer questions as we plan for this new way of doing Assembly. Jason will be available to answer questions for you. We highly recommend each voting member start now on learning their device with Zoom and ask questions sooner rather than later. Please know we will do our best to support everyone\, and if folks wait until the day of\, we cannot guarantee their full participation (including being able to vote) in this year’s Assembly if we are inundated with requests. \nLet’s have fun with this. We’re all experimenting and learning. We appreciate your grace\, and we are praying for each of you. \nMore details forthcoming about this online experience. \nTo read Bishop’s announcement from July 28: https://www.ntnl.org/bishops-message-tuesday-july-28th-assembly-news/ \nTo review details from our original Assembly event page: https://www.ntnl.org/event/2020-synod-assembly/
