There have been several recent changes to upcoming events due to the record number of COVID-19 infections and other factors. Please review the items below for important information on PSEC events over the next few weeks.
January 11 - Final Computer-side Chat: The last Computer-Side Chat will be next week on Tuesday, Jan. 11 at 7:00p. Some people would like to have just one more and this time have lay people share their experiences around Shared Minister/Ministry contexts.
 
So, if you are a lay person who is currently a member of a congregation that is sharing a minister with another congregation OR a congregation intentionally sharing ministry with another congregation… EMAIL ME at miniasian@psec.org.
 
So back by popular demand… the LAST LAST Computer Side Chat will be Tuesday Jan. 11, 7:00- 8:00p. You can get a link for that meeting by emailing Brea@psec.org.
January 18-20 - Women's Clergy Retreat: The planning committee for the PSEC Women’s Clergy Retreat, scheduled for later this month, has decided to cancel the retreat due to rising COVID-19 cases, the lack of available testing, and Omicron infections in vaccinated people. Refunds will be issued to those who registered.
January 22 - Connect, Reconnect, Staying Connected: Are you prepared to admit that the Covid pandemic is going to last a lot longer than we thought? If so, then you are also prepared to admit that what we have lost the most in our congregations is our spirit of fellowship and connection. Here is another question; are you crazy enough to believe that God will always provide a solution to every problem? This workshop will explore the various ways that churches are, 1. Creating new connections, 2. Reconnecting with those who fell away, 3. Maintaining connection with the faithful, during this pandemic. Bring what has worked for you and hear what is working for others.

This workshop, on Jan. 22 from 10:00a-12:00, will be led by Rev. Cean James. For a flyer, click here. To register, click here.
January 26 - Basic Boundary Training: On Wednesday, January 26, a Basic Boundary Training course will be offered. That training has now been moved to Zoom. For more information and to register, click here.
January 29 - Connect, Reconnect, Staying Connected: Previously, there were to be two opportunities to join this workshop. The Jan. 29 in-person workshop has been canceled. Please sign up to join the Zoom event on Jan. 22 from 10:00a-12:00. If you cannot attend that training, a recording will be made available after the event.
PSEC is the link that connects our church’s various and diverse ministries both locally and globally. Together, we provide our local churches, pastors and congregations with the training and inspiration they need to carry out our church’s wider mission. We are stronger together; therefore, we embrace diversity, and above all, we spread God’s love!
