Location changes for Safe Sanctuary Training Events
Due to high enrollment for the Monday, Oct. 31 session, the training that day will be moved to Millbrook UMC in Raleigh, 9 a.m. – noon. Participants are encouraged to carpool to minimize parking needs. The Saturday, Oct. 22 makeup session will now be moved to the Conference Office in Garner from 9 a.m. – noon. Please register at Safe Sanctuaries.

Early Response Team (ERT) training on October 29
Hayes Barton UMC: Raleigh 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Open to everyone.
The need for people trained in early response is critical. The mission of an early response team is to provide a caring presence in the aftermath of a disaster, under very specific guidelines that enable a team to be productive and caring while causing no further harm or being a burden to the affected community. Classes are taught by authorized UMCOR trainers, and team members are given ID badges as evidence of training. Topics covered in the class include the who, what, when, where and how of doing ministry, as well as hands-on experience in the specific tasks that early responders are expected to accomplish. Until the end of the year, registration fees are being waived, so the only cost is for background checks. Most churches will conduct the background check for you, but if you want the NCC to conduct it, the cost is $15 if you have lived in NC for the past seven years, and $20 if under seven years. To sign up for this training, go to ERT training or contact Trevor Spear at: 919-868-9574/ tspear68@gmail.com.

Alpha Training Opportunity in Durham

Walking Program Picks Up The PACE

In order to be eligible for the cash incentive, participants must have their pedometers by that day.

Disciple Making is NOT a Program
Jan. 13 and 14, 2012 9:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Cost: $15 per person (includes lunch)
A training event for lay and clergy will be presented at the United Methodist Building in Garner by Dr. Steve Manskar, director of Wesleyan Leadership for The General Board of Discipleship. Friday’s one-day event will be repeated on Saturday. (Participants attend only one day.) This training opportunity will offer a look at small groups, a core element in the Wesleyan DNA and how John Wesley used the small group system for discipleship. It will also describe ways they can be utilized in today’s church as a means of making and growing disciples. Online registration will open Nov. 1.
