SUMMARY:2024 Basic Boundary Training by the Lehigh Presbytery - 2 days/ 3 hrs. each day
DESCRIPTION:2024 Boundary Training Registration\nMay 7 and May 8th – 1:00 – 4:00 each day\n\n\nNot-Your-Average Boundaries Training is tailored to focus on strategies to foster clergy emotional resiliency and well-being. While we still cover the “requirements\,”we believe the best prevention involves encouraging leaders to take steps to manage their stress in order to maintain balance and perspective when temptation to violate boundaries arises. \nThis live online boundaries training is 5 total hours split over 2 consecutive days (2.5 hours each day). Following the first session\, participants are asked to engage in a bit of reflection work in preparation for the second session. This online boundaries training will be conducted via secure Zoom video conferencing \nLimit is 40 people per class \nZoom link and workbook will be emailed to all participants 1 week prior to the scheduled training. \nTo register\, click here. \n\n$50.00 for PCUSA / $65.00 for non-PCUSA participants \nOther classes being offered:\nClasses will be offered:\nJan. 31-Feb. 1  9:30 am – 12:30 pm\nOct. 15-16   10:00 am – 1:00 pm \n

SUMMARY:POSTPONED till 2025 - An Insight Into Human Trafficking
DESCRIPTION:This event will be re-scheduled in early 2025.\nApologies for any inconvenience this may cause. \n  \nJoe Birli\, CEO of Bethany Children’s Home\, will offer a first-hand perspective of familial Human Trafficking as that is happening in our local communities and around the nation. Participants will learn how young people are targeted and groomed over generations along with therapeutic interventions and shared experiences of victims trafficked that have survived to live successful lives.\nClinical case studies\, a review of the personal and professional journey of a familial human sex trafficking individual will be shared and discussed to help participants understand how human trafficking happens around us\, and how grooming has changed through the decades (with use of technology).\nFurther exploration into the need for advocacy\, funding\, creating safe harbor laws and prevention programs\, as well as training opportunities in assessment and treatment will be discussed. After attending this session\, participants will have encountered the lived experience of one specific individual who has survived being trafficked through a familial trafficker. Participants will hear the journey of horror and healing\, and how people can use impactful interventions for trafficking trauma\, allowing for individuals to not remain captive to their trafficking experiences. \nFaith communities are invited to an educational and thought provoking conversation on how to recognize and respond to Adverse Religious Experiences (ARE’s) and Religious Trauma (RT). Many of the people we serve come to us with these adverse experiences and traumas and have not received adequate psychospiritual care to help them heal and recover. Using defined terms\, current data\, and case studies participants will gain awareness of AREs and Religious Trauma and their intergenerational impacts. We will also explore how certain faith doctrines and belief systems can cause an ingrained trauma response loop in the nervous system. The presenter will introduce the Shepley Religious Trauma Screening Tool and provide guidance on how to best utilize the tool in congregational settings. \nFacilitators:  Dr. Joseph T. Birli and Rev. Dr. Rose Shepley \n(Session Disclaimer: The stories and case study for this session include some graphic and disturbing material\, therefore\, participants should be aware prior to attending for potential trauma triggers and take precautions for self-care). \n

SUMMARY:Advanced Boundary Training: Pastoring While Experiencing Your Own Physical\, Emotional\, and Spiritual Challenges
DESCRIPTION:In this three-hour Advanced Boundary Training on ZOOM\, the issues around pastoring to others while experiencing your own challenges will be explored. When clergy are experiencing a crisis themselves\, how can they remain pastorally effective while also tending to their own needs? How much should one share with your congregation about your own physical\, emotional\, and spiritual challenges? How does one set up healthy boundaries with a congregation\, while also acknowledging their desire to care for you? These issues and others will be discussed in this training with a mixture of teaching\, discussion\, and case studies. \nThe following two GPC Ministers  are conducting the this Boundary Training: \nDonna Mast is an Eastern Mennonite Seminary graduate with a double major in Pastoral Care and Counseling and Christian Spiritual Formation.

SUMMARY:The Importance of Saying "Thank you": Establishing a System for your Church
DESCRIPTION:The Importance of Saying Thank You: Establishing a System for Your Church \nDoes your congregation have a regular plan for thanking your members and donors? If you said no\, don’t worry\, you’re not alone! If you said yes\, we want to hear from you! According to the Lewis Center for Church Leadership\, “Saying thank you promptly and regularly is one of the simplest and most effective things a congregation can do to reinforce good stewardship and enhance giving. When people are thanked regularly\, they feel appreciated\, valued\, and needed — which makes them more likely to support ministry with their time\, talents\, and financial support. To accomplish this\, churches need a thank you system that is personal\, prompt\, and planned.” Join us for our first-ever PSEC Generosity Virtual Coffee Hour to discuss this important topic! \nFor a free registration\, click here.
