In this time when Covid-19 restrictions have lifted and we are considering how to function in non-anxious, healthy ways, this conference will explore how you can be merciful to yourself—in your spirit, body, mind, relationships, and ministry context—as your Father is merciful to you. Because you are loved by God through Christ, come plan for how to offer His love to yourself and others. You will leave this conference with concrete action plans for how to grow and maintain such health.
Note: All deacons will also need to complete their required paperwork and return them to Martha Wohlfeil by August 31. You can download fillable forms here: Deacon Forms and Policies. Be sure to start this process early and follow the instructions provided as you will need to collect signatures from various congregation members/supervising pastor etc.
