Training Opportunity

We've received the following invitation from our friend Ruth Garwood, at the UCC Coalition for LGBT Concerns:

If you know of a church that is in a discernment process about becoming ONA, or is in process, this training opportunity is a wonderful opportunity to learn more.
The Coalition, in partnership with our counterparts in other denominations, is offering a weekend of skills-building to assist you. I recommend this training session also for people who are part of a church that is already ONA, if they are interested in re-energizing their church's ONA commitments or if they are interested in working with other churches, this weekend is an excellent time for them to get some ideas about how to do either of those things. If two people from your church attend together, they can then work together when they get back home.
It's also a great opportunity for ONA consultants to further develop their skills.
To register, go to www.welcomingresources.org, look at the tab for community organizing and click onn the link for Training Opportunities.
The next training sessions are scheduled as follows:
October 24-26 Goshen, IN
November 7-9 Independence, MO
November 14-16 Washington, DC
February 13-15 Atlanta, GA
March 13-15/20-22 Detroit or Ann Arbor, MI
Don't let finances be an obstacle to your involvement - The Coalition can help. Please contact me for more information or to let me know about any way that I can help.
Blessings,
Ruth
