SPIRIT QUEST Uniteen Spring Retreat

Friday - Sunday, May 19 - 21

We make hundreds of decisions each week from who to sit next to on the bus to what we want for dinner. Our brains are trained from a young age how to categorize information in order to make snap decisions and to protect ourselves. You don’t need to touch every hot stove you ever see to know that if you see a stove, you should assume it is hot. Unconscious bias is a result of those mental shortcuts we’ve learned to take when sizing up a situation. Unconscious biases, often related to protected classes of individuals, are not inherently wrong. However, when it clouds our ability to distinguish facts from assumptions, it can lead to missed opportunities and big misunderstandings.

DO YOU NEED A DIVERSITY/INCLUSIVITY TRAINING?

"Unconscious Bias"

(Webinar: Diversity CEU Credit)

Instructor: Courtney McGinnis

Date: Wednesday, April 19, 2:00pm-4:00pm CST (3 EST)

A link to the webinar will be sent out on April 18.
No late registrations will be accepted.
If you need additional support, please email: [email protected]

This webinar takes time for us to reflect on our biases, utilize resources to examine them, and adopt tools that we can use to combat these biases before they lead to harm.

The Power of Focused Ministry

An In-Person Only Workshop is being offered at several locations and dates in the Eastern Region. See detailed information below.

Join Rev. Shad Groverland, Executive Director of UWM, in a timely 1-day workshop designed for ministry leaders, future leaders, and those who train these leaders. The world of ministry is rapidly changing and there is a chance we could be left behind, unless we can acquire tools that will keep us current, relevant, focused, impactful and enjoying the work we do. Through presentation, group discussion, brainstorming and connecting with Spirit, we will learn these tools that create the foundation for a thriving modern ministry.
