SUMMARY:God’s Love Made Real

The Rev. Donald Kreiss\, bishop of the Southeast Michigan Synod\, will host the conversation\, and participants will have a chance to ask questions and share stories. \nIs this event for me?\nThis webinar is especially for people who care about the ELCA and live in the Southeast Michigan\, North/West Lower Michigan\, Indiana-Kentucky\, Northwestern Ohio\, Northeastern Ohio and Southern Ohio synods. If you don’t live in one of these synods\, stay tuned for an upcoming event in your region. \nCan I watch it later?\nA recording may be available at some point in the future\, but we encourage you to stream the event live on Tuesday\, Oct. 29\, at 12 p.m. Eastern time. \nWhat else do I need to know?\nLearn more about God’s Love Made Real at lovemadereal.elca.org. \nWe look forward to sharing this time with you! \nREGISTRATION LINK: Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (elca.org)

SUMMARY:Declaring Nursing Homes a Mission Field
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Pastor Mark Fisher \nCurrently national estimates suggest that over 1\,500\,000 people reside in nursing homes each day with well over 50% rarely receiving visits. Pr. Mark Fisher and his congregation have begun to address the needs in their community by establishing a visitation ministry that includes visiting individuals each month. If you are interested in learning how to start an outreach initiative – possibly with a nursing home in your area – this is a workshop for you.   \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Financial Best Practices
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Pastor Niklaus Schillack \nOne of the top three reasons people give to nonprofits in the United States is trust in the organization’s responsible financial management. Do you have basic practices in place to give donors this confidence? This lab examines three areas a congregational leader can improve with bitesize steps: 1) Council Policies and Actions; 2) Cashflow Checks and Balances; and 3) Transparency. Tangible examples will be offered including take-home documents for implementing improvements in the congregation(s) you serve. Our session will be led by Pr. Niklaus Schillack\, who holds a B.B.A. in Accounting. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Ministry
DESCRIPTION:Pastor Aaron Werner\, Presenter \nPeer-to-Peer Ministry creates safe places to find support and a training ground where young people learn to welcome\, listen to\, and accompany their peers. Our young people have a great deal of pressure placed on them. Levels of anxiety and depression are rising. My colleagues and I have worked with thousands of youth and this is what we hear: \n“Yes\, I am in conversation with friends considering suicide or self-harm.” \n“Yes\, I know someone struggling with an addiction or an eating disorder.” \n“Yes\, I talk with friends about relationship troubles and stress.” \nAnd one hundred percent of our youth say\, “YES! I want to know better how to help my friends.” \nLearn how to create safe places to for young people to find and give support\, practicing fundamental welcoming\, listening\, and helping skills.   \nRegister Here
