Additionally, we will name best practices in ending your current appointment and strategies to begin your new appointment enthusiastically. You will have the opportunity to meet the S\/PPRC members, who will be attending from your new church, and get acquainted with your new Lay Leader, District Superintendent, or Administrative Assistant to the DS (AADS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clergy retiring, taking a leave of absence, being appointed to an Extension Ministry, or taking an appointment outside of the NC Conference are not required to attend the Transition Seminar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The S\/PPRC chairperson and another S\/PPRC member from each church will attend the Transition Seminar held at the event affiliated with their District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
