Your NC Conference Safe Sanctuaries Team is hosting an online workshop…
@
The NCC Safe Sanctuaries Committee invites you to come with your Safe Sanctuaries questions so we can all keep our UM church members and visitors safer. Facilitated by a committee member, each Exploring Safe Sanctuaries Together Zoom will be a chance to talk about current challenges and explore a topic in depth.
After a brief presentation about the featured topic, there will be time for Q&A. Because there is abundant knowledge among our ministry leaders, we invite attendees to be a part of the discussion and offer their contextual solutions.
This first session will focus on summer programs, VBS, and camps…facilitated by Rev. Mamie Alley, Safe Sanctuaries Committee Chair.
