“Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” – Hebrews 10:23-25

In a ministry field of BIG changes, we have learned that consistency, connection, collaboration, and companionship are essential for moving forward in ministry together in love and good works.  All In Community puts into practice the Hebrews writer’s principles for growing stronger through adversity.  As such, we offer monthly environments designed for mutual discipleship, equipping for good works, encouraging engagement and restorative relational healing.  Each environment harnesses collective compassion, wisdom, gifts and innovation from the group gathered online. As we bring hope and healing in the midst of people’s harmful circumstances, we all need consistent infusions of hope, connection and collaboration. So, mark your calendar and plan to participate in the following monthly offerings.

LISTENING CIRCLES

3rd Mondays @ 7:00-8:30pm on ZOOM

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” – Proverbs 4:23

Listening Circles use restorative practices for participants to experience braver and safer spaces for creating emotional connection and healing in the midst of justice-involved experiences. Participants have the opportunity to tell their truth and experience an empathetic, non-judgmental environment for healing. Circle topics include: family incarceration and reentry, victimization and reentry for returning neighbors. If you’re feeling bruised and battered from any of these life experiences, a Listening Circle offers you a way for us to “listen each other into healing.”

The next circle is June 19 on the Incarceration Impact on Families.  Login using this ZOOM link: https://wocumc.zoom.us/j/84706331325

The ZOOM link also is provided in our All In Community e-newsletter. To get on the contact list, contact Jami Nathan at jami.nathan.22 [at] gmail.com.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOMENT RETREAT:
Collaborative Leadership 

June 10th ll 9AM-5PM @ West Ohio Conference Center

Leadership is influence. How well you are able to get people to accomplish something greater than themselves depends on how willing they are to trust you with themselves, their time, their gifts, and their future. This retreat provides leadership theories, principles, and practices that help you build the right kind of Christ-like leadership influence to not only lead into a better future, but also get them to take ownership in the effort.
