LUTHERAN DISASTER RESPONSE
Lutheran Disaster Response is accompanying our companions in Ukraine, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, as well as Lutheran World Federation and Church World Service, in their humanitarian responses to the crisis. These partners provide refugees with immediate support and supplies such as food, blankets, water and hygiene kits.
LUTHERAN DISASTER RESPONSE
Lutheran Disaster Response is engaging with partners in the affected areas to respond to immediate needs. Given the initial damage assessments, recovery will likely take years, and Lutheran Disaster Response is prepared to accompany survivors until the response is complete.
SERIES ON
HEALTHY CONGREGATIONS
SUNDAYS 12:00 NOON
When two or three are gathered together, there will be conflict. Conflict can come in the form of a simple disagreement over how to make coffee. It can come as a serious disagreement over the congregation's mission. There may be boundary issues, from simple misunderstandings all the way to criminal offenses. And it's not a matter of "if," but "when."
If people take sides, blame, and punish, this is of no benefit to the congregation, but serves to escalate anxiety. But if members are trained to meet conflict early on, with honesty, truthfulness, realism, openness, and recognition of proper boundaries, they can help their congregation to greater understanding and equitable resolutions.
Healthy Congregations® is an ecumenical and interfaith organization that takes seriously the challenges of families, congregations, and leadership. Healthy Congregations, Inc. offers resources and training that are based on a view of life that looks at communities as living systems that incorporate thinking, feeling, responsibility, and purpose.
The Zoom link for the meeting will be on the church calendar online, glclex.org. Please join us!
