Listening deeply is essential for communities to make informed discernment and decision. This listening can be done in forums, but may be limited by how many people speak. For more personal connection, 1:1 conversations provide more inclusion of members and allow for those uncomfortable speaking at a forum to have their input heard. To learn more and prepare for this MACG training, please read this article by the Franciscan Action Network. Preceded by a light lunch.

With threats of mass deportation in the news, many immigrants are feeling scared for themselves or their family and friends. Our current pastoral leaders and newer members were not a part of our community's previous efforts to support sanctuary for immigrants. Join us as we learn more about the decision in February 2018 to become a “sanctuary-supporting church.” Pastor Robyn will converse with Christie Bernklau-Halvor on what we voted to approve and what the very active Sanctuary Team did from 2017-2020. Your questions, comments, and conversation will also be invited.

Facilitated by palliative care chaplain Kaitlin Pabo-Eulberg, learn more about preparing for your future healthcare and life decisions. This is especially vital work for people who are marginalized by healthcare institutions, but advance care planning empowers all folks to explicitly state their wishes regarding end-of-life care to ensure their trusted people can make decisions on their behalf in the event of a crisis or health change.

Are you striving for peace within your family? Are you wondering how to set limits and support self-regulation with your child, while also strengthening the parent-child connection?
Healthy families are pivotal to building just and peaceful communities, and the root of healthy families are healthy parents. Join parent educator Julie Salwasser for this FREE three-part series of gatherings in which parents and caregivers are invited to learn concrete strategies to support their children's behavior with grace, connection, and joy. Julie is trained in the "Empowered to Connect" and "Trauma Based Relational Intervention" parenting methods. The workshop, cosponsored by the Oregon Synod, will lead parents from permissive or authoritative approaches to parenting with grace, connection, and joy. By equipping those at the front lines (parents, whose daily interactions shape how children show up in the world), we can raise regulated, secure, peace-filled, compassionate change-makers. Join us on the following Sundays from 1-3:30 pm: September 15, October 20, and November 17. Each session can stand alone, but are most impactful when taken as a series. Attend as many as you can!
