SUMMARY:Endowments: What You Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Endowments aren’t just for universities and hospitals. They can be a great way to maintain church buildings and fund ministries. However\, endowments don’t merely appear out of thin air. They take work\, time\, and an understanding of how to manage them. \nWondering how best to steward an endowment that already exists? \nDon’t know if you should pursue establishing an endowment? Want to know more? These workshops are the ticket! Sign-up here. Zoom information will be sent two days before the event. \nPart 1: Tuesday\, September 28; 6-8pm \nIn Part 1\, a panel of experts will answer basic questions about endowments. What is an endowment? Are there different kinds of endowments? What are the benefits and drawbacks? What if the funds are restricted? What’s the difference between an endowment and a reserve fund? \nThen our experts will discuss how to set up an endowment fund – and what you should know about setting it up correctly. Sign-up here. \nPart 2: Tuesday\, November 2; 6-8pm \nIn Part 2\, you’ll learn how to manage an endowment and what to do if you need to close (or “extinguish”) it. \nFinally (and most importantly)\, join us in discussing the spiritual and ethical considerations that may arise as a result of establishing and/or maintaining an endowment. Sign-up here. \nPresenters:   \nJulia Frisbie\, Associate Director\, Faith Foundation Northwest\nBrant Henshaw\, Pacific Northwest Conference Treasurer and Director of Administrative Services\nGary McGee\, Managing Partner\, Gary McGee & Co.\, Non-Profit Accounting Specialists|\nDan Wilson-Fey\, Oregon-Idaho Conference Treasurer \nCesie Delve Scheuermann\, Oregon-Idaho Stewardship Consultant\, is moderating and organizing the workshops.

SUMMARY:BOTH/AND: To Be Continued
DESCRIPTION:About this Training \nAfter over 18 months of doing our best to live into BOTH/AND\, many churches are feeling a mixture of exhilaration and exhaustion when thinking about the continuation of hybrid worship. While many have seen their reach extended\, some have begun to lose their passion and resolve for creating truly hybrid worship experiences. As in-person numbers have increased\, more and more churches are asking\, “can we stop doing online now?” If that’s you\, don’t give up! Now is the time to re-new and re-energize your passion for BOTH/AND. It’s making a difference. \nJoin Jason Moore for a follow up to the popular BOTH/AND webinar. BOTH/AND: To Be Continued will focus on why hybrid should carry on\, how to continue to iterate and will provide tangible handles on how to do it well. This brand new 90-minute training brings all new content focused on the why\, how and what we can do to run the next leg of this very important race. We are living in an incredible “Great Commission” moment in the church. Let’s lean in and continue to iterate forward. \nThis webinar will include: \n\nAn invitation to determine your WHY for BOTH/AND worship\n13 reasons why BOTH/AND must continue\nAnswer to the “what if they don’t come back to the building” question\nHow to create a BOTH/AND Think Tank at your church\nHow to build an intentional chat strategy in order foster real relationships\nBOTH/AND pro tips\nQ&A\n\nAfter you register\, you will receive an email with links to a recording of the original BOTH/AND webinar and an accompanying workbook. We hope this will make it easier for new participants to fully engage and past participants to refresh themselves with Jason’s content. \nRSVP by Nov. 18! →\nQuestions? \nEmail Patrick Scriven\, director of communications for the Pacific Northwest Conference of The United Methodist Church\, if you have any questions about this training or the registration process.
