We will discuss some best practices for using social media in
congregations. From big picture items like identifying your target audience and boosting engagement to some practical approaches to developing templated designs to make posting easier and more effective.
Environmental Justice and the Church [30 remaining]
Instructor: Sharyn Cosby
As people of faith, we can only fully advocate for vulnerable
communities by examining the environmental movement.
Considering environmental justice through an understanding of intersectionality allows us to see the injustices happening in vulnerable communities and the how church can/should respond.

Elders Best Practices [29 remaining]

Grace-Filled Conversations Post-Election [30 remaining]
Instructor: Michael Davison (Panel Discussion)
In the book, The Scandalous Gospel of Jesus: What's So Good About the Good News, Rev. Dr. Peter Gomes writes, "Good news to some will almost inevitably be bad news to others." On this side of the election, Disciples can be an example for our society about how to maintain relationships and have significant conversations when we don't agree on Government policies, politicians, theology, or the color of the new carpet in the worship space. Our panel discussion will explore how some practice being in conversation rather than debate as we journey into the next four years.
