SUMMARY:MP Retreat "Emotional Intelligence" with Jenny Stephens
DESCRIPTION:“Emotional Intelligence” with Jenny Stephens\nLuke 24: 30-32 (Inclusive Language Bible)\nAfter sitting down with them to eat\, Jesus took bread\, said the blessing\, then broke the bread and began to distribute it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus\, who immediately vanished from their sight.\nThey said to one another\,\n“Weren’t our hearts burning inside us as this one talked to us on the road and explained the scriptures to us?” \n‘Being an emotionally intelligent leader’ retreat\, will invite reflection and conversation in order for eyes to be opened\, that we might recognize ourselves and others more clearly. What if the two on the way to Emmaus\, had realized in the moment that their hearts were burning inside them? What shifts in our relationships\, if we grow our self-awareness and are able to manage ourselves better?\nThe retreat includes learning about the competencies which contribute to the four quadrants of emotional intelligence – self-awareness\, self-management\, social awareness and relationship management\, the challenge of the amygdala hijack and how that connects to responses to micro-aggressions\, and reflection on your practice of ministry through these anxious times. \nA self-assessment tool is available upon registration. \nJenny Stephens will be leading this event and Erin Todd will ground us in body work throughout our time together. \nAbout Jenny Stephens:\nBesides her work at the General Council Office as the Office of Vocation Coordinator and Team Lead\, Jenny is a trainer with The Center for Emotional Intelligence and Human Relations Skills (www.eqhr.org). The EQ-HR Center was established to bring training in emotional intelligence and human relations skills to faith leaders. An early adopter of the activities of the EQ-HR Center\, Jenny has served on the Board and is currently secretary of the Program\, Staffing and Coaching Team. She is convinced that growing our emotional intelligence as faith leaders enhances our ability to engage healthy pastoral relationships and to serve God’s mission through the church more effectively. Jenny currently serves as the President of the Interim Ministry Network where the emphasis on being a ‘self-differentiated leader’ dovetails well with the EQ-HR work. \nAbout Erin Todd:\nHi! I’m Erin. And here’s a bit about me. \nI have been an ordained United Church minister for sixteen years; (though I have been working in ministry in various capacities for about twenty-five years). \nBorn and raised in Sudbury\, I have been back in my hometown and happily engaged in ministry at Grace United Church for the past twelve years\, following ministry gigs in Whitby\, Stouffville\, Toronto and Wawa. \nI love being a minister. \nI also am a Can Fit Pro certified Personal Fitness Trainer\, with a passion for what I like to call “whole person wellness”: an approach to health and fitness which is multifaceted\, affirming and celebratory\, and which helps people of all ages\, abilities and fitness levels to access and enjoy physical fitness in a supportive community setting. \nWith this philosophy in mind\, couple of years ago I launched a programme called Soul Strong\, which folks seem to be enjoying. \nYou can read more about that on my website: soulstrong@godaddysites.com\nI am an enthusiastic long-distance runner\, cyclist\, swimmer and kayaker\, who has dabbled in marathons and triathlons and such. \nMostly I just love moving my body and helping people discover and move their bodies too!  \nPlease click on the button below to register for the event and you will be sent a Self Assessment Tool via email.   \nHope to see you there!\nBlessings\, \nRob Smith \n  \nFor more information on the outline for the day\, please click on the button below: \nOutline for Event\n  \nTo Register for the event\, please click on the button below: \nRegistration\n

SUMMARY:"What's Next" with Rev. Randy Boyd
DESCRIPTION:CSRC Presents:  “What’s Next?” – Exploring What Church Might Look Like in a Post-Pandemic World \n\nCovid-19 has taught us how to do virtual worship and soon we will be returning to in-person worship.  We imagine that there will be some element of virtual worship that will remain.  Regardless\, there are questions that we have: \nHow do we encourage our communities of faith to not abandon the lessons that Covid-19 has invited us to learn? \nHow do we do a hybrid of in-person and virtual worship? What will that look like? \nHow do we continue to minister to our on-line community? \nAs we continue our journey into a world beyond this pandemic join us to wrestle with these questions and to begin to dream again about what’s next. \nWorkshop Leader:  Randy Boyd \n\nRecently retired as the minister of Trinity United in Thunder Bay after 30 years of ministry.  He has been doing livestreaming and multi-site worship since 2012.  \nHe is currently serving as the National Facilitator for Rural Connect – an initiative of the General Council to help rural communities of faith embrace technology. \n\nThere is no cost for this event but pre-registration is required.  Ministry Personnel\, please click on the button below to register.  Hope to see you there! \nRegister for Event with Rev. Randy Boyd
