MENTOR TRAINING
Wednesday, November 30th
Thorndale UMC
3503 Lincoln Highway, Thorndale, PA 19372
When we reflect on our journeys into ministry, most of us can identify one or more wise mentors and helpful guides whose support and encouragement was an incredible blessing. We invite you to 'pay it forward' and offer that kind of support and encouragement to new candidates for ministry! We are currently in need of mentors to guide candidates through the ministry process and through the discernment of their call. Join us for this one-time training session to become certified, informed, and empowered as a mentor to candidates for ministry.
Ordained deacons, ordained elders, and local pastors (who have completed Course of Study or the M. Div, both full-time and part-time) are eligible to become mentors.
This training session will be led by Rev. Andrew Krpata. For more information contact Rev. Monica B. Guepet, Southeast District DCOM Chairperson, at
610. 869.9334
or
www.westgroveumc.org
There is no fee for the training.
The book will also be provided for you at no charge.
Free Continental Breakfast.
Registration Deadline is November 18th.
The program is from 9 a.m. to Noon.
Please plan to arrive early for registration....starting at 8:30 a.m.
Please note that parking is in the Giant parking lot across from the church due to the need of the church parking lot for pre-school drop off. If you have a handicap parking permit please feel free to park at the church.
Please bring computer, iPad or phone for online access during the training.

Message from DS Dawn Taylor-Storm
Dear Friends,
Today, more than ever, our churches need to be places where people can come together and find space for respectful dialogue with one another. Our district will be offering intentional opportunities throughout 2017 for clergy and laity to engage these vital conversations with one another. Please mark your calendars now for a Southeast District Night of Dialogue on Jan. 16, 2017 (Martin Luther King Day) from 7-9 pm at Church of the Open Door in Kennett Square. The evening will be an opportunity to grow in relationship with clergy and laity throughout the district. We will take time to hear each other's stories and learn from one another. We will also discern ways that we can help our communities have vital conversations with one another and how to build bridges in our communities. DS Taylor-Storm will lead the devotion for the evening; Rev. Lydia Munoz will be our lead facilitator for the dialogue. These conversations are vital to our ongoing journey to become the beloved community that God intends for us. The resources we use during the evening will be able to be reproduced for use in each local church.
May God bless the work of your hands this day.
Together in Ministry,
Dawn
