SUMMARY:Crucial Hacks to Decolonize Your Church
DESCRIPTION:Season 3\, Episode 4\n\n\n\n\n\nIn recent years\, the term “decolonization” has entered popular vocabulary\, drawing attention to the role of religious organizations in gentrification and the history of colonial oppression. This subject is complex and frequently fraught with contradicting ideas about defining religious ideals\, colonialism\, and its victims. How can congregations uphold their standards while actively combating social injustice? In this New Church Hacks episode\, we unpacked these ideas and: \n\n\n\n\nFocused on anti-racism as an approach to church development and community engagement\n\n\n\nCreated space for conversations and practical ways in which to shape and reshape congregational DNA to reflect anti-racist discipleship\n\n\n\nRaised awareness of the ways in which your congregation is colonialistic \n\n\n\n\nHost Pastor Terrell McTyer was joined by featured guests Brandon Wrencher (Minister and Organizer of the Good Neighbor Movement)\, Naomi Washington-Leapheart (Director for Faith-Based and Interfaith Affairs for the City of Philadelphia and Faith Work Director for the National LGBTQ Task Force)\, and Chris Morton (Regional Minister of Disciples of Christ in Nebraska and Director of Cotner College Educational Ministries). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew Church Hacks provides practical (and sometimes peculiar) prompts for churches from start to restart. This free webinar series is jam-packed with clever solutions to tricky problems and empowers courageous leaders with the tools\, tips and how-tos to start\, sustain and strengthen congregations. For regular updates\, be sure to check this page and follow along on social media with #NewChurchHacks! \n\n\n\nA link to a recording of the webinar will be emailed to all registrants after the episode airs\, regardless of attendance. \n\n\n\nYou can either view the webinar on Zoom by registering below or by watching Terrell\, Brandon\, Naomi\, and Chris live on New Church Ministry’s Facebook page.

SUMMARY:Disciples Virtual Gathering workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Disciples Virtual Gathering is an opportunity for Disciples to connect\, learn\, worship\, and imagine new ways of gathering as church. \n\n\n\nOur day together will focus on the covenant we share as Disciples and the promise of Romans 8:38-39 that nothing can separate us from the love of God. The program will consist of bible lectures\, educational workshops\, and worship service\, with invited speakers and presenters focusing on our theme. \n\n\n\nAs a proud sponsor of this virtual event\, New Church Ministry will be presenting a workshop in Session 1. \n\n\n\nHybrid Church: Combining Online and In-person Communities\n\n\n\nCreating a hybrid church extends beyond Sunday morning\, but bringing online and offline worship attendees together is only one step. To align your congregation with digital culture through hybrid experiences\, we must find more creative practices than providing a stream into our events. In this hybrid workshop\, we will explore with participants what it means to bridge offline and online in faith formation and spiritual practice; help attendees deepen faith formation with technology; support spiritual practice and authentic connection across multiple platforms; discover good ideas to blend in-person worship with an online component — permanently; and form diverse teams and make mission plans more efficient. \n\n\n\nPresenter: Pastor Terrell L.

SUMMARY:How to lead people toward a common good
DESCRIPTION:Democracy\, Faith and the Common Good: Post-Election Debriefs and Exploration of Next Steps\n\n\n\nThe 2020 presidential election is now over. Yet\, some results are still not clear. Will the outcome of the U.S. presidential elections be fought in the courts? Or will the 279 electoral votes garnered by President-elect Biden and Vice President Elect Harris still stand? \n\n\n\nThe questions this election raises are more pertinent than ever. \n\n\n\nHow solid are democratic institutions in the States? What repair work needs to be done? Will social inequities be addressed in a substantive way? What is the role of faith leaders in this time? With a clearly divided nation\, can Americans ever truly speak of a “common good? \n\n\n\nJoin Rebekah Simon-Peter\, Chief Visionary of Creating a Culture of Renewal\, for the latest in her Uncomfortable Conversation Series: Democracy\, Faith and the Common Good. In this session\, which will take place on Zoom\, she and a panel of guests will discuss how to lead people toward a common good. Guests include Rev. Terrell McTyer\, contributor to Faithful Innovation: Beginning a Conversation for a Post-Covid Church and Minister of New Church Strategies for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada\, and Rev. Burry Bessee\, mother-in-law of a defeated senator\, who has successfully navigated deep divides in her family\, congregation\, and community. \n\n\n\nThe Uncomfortable Conversation Series was born out of the national unrest Americans are currently experiencing. This series is designed to engage spiritual leaders in deep listening and heartfelt discussion\, to expand emotional intelligence and to generate renewal during these unprecedented times. Developing solutions for these difficult systemic issues is not easy. It will take all of us to raise consciousness to bring about change.

SUMMARY:Becoming an Externally Focused Church
DESCRIPTION:WITH PASTOR TERRELL L MCTYER\, MINISTER OF NEW CHURCH STRATEGIES\n\n\n\nWorkshop Description:  \n\n\n\nIf your church vanished\, would your community weep? Would anyone notice? Would anyone care? \n\n\n\nLearn to make serving the community a priority–with dramatic and unexpected results. Your church can be a firm pillar in your community because of the unwavering truth and love of its members. From the minister to the mechanic and the teen to the tenured\, your church will expand God’s family when it extends love to the community. Being an externally focused church is not about trying to be the best church in the community\, but being the best church for the community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nALL WORKSHOPS at Making Room at the Table: Seeking Unity in our Diversity\, the 2020 Tennesee Regional Assembly\, will be held virtually this year! Upon registration\, you will receive an email confirming your details.  \n\n\n\nIf you already registered for the Assembly\, but want to sign up for more workshops\, the Tennesee region has you covered! Just use the link down below to sign up for as many workshops as you like. Do note\, you will only receive one Zoom link per registration\, so please only register once.  \n\n\n\nThe Zoom meeting link will be emailed to the email address provided in the registration form. You will receive the Zoom link sign up on the Friday prior to your workshop for security purposes. Should you have any questions\, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the region at regionaloffice@tndisciples.org or aniesha@tndisciples.org. \n\n\n\nThank you and we look forward to seeing you on September 5!
