The East District is excited to partner with Keller UMC and The Caring Congregation to host speakers Rev. Karen Lampe and Rev. Joy Dister-Dominguez on Friday and Saturday March 1-2 at Keller UMC for an in-person Care Ministry Seminar. This seminar is for churches of all sizes to establish and equip pastors, staff, and care teams (laity) to cultivate a culture of care by providing excellent care ministries for their congregations and communities. Topics covered include theology of care, boundaries, listening and spiritual guidance, elder care, visitation, care for the sick and dying, organizing your teams, healing after disaffiliation, crisis care, evaluation, and building the vision for a culture of care.

Registration deadline has been extended to Monday, February 26th. Discounts are available for groups of 5 or more participants, with individual registration starting at $75 per person. Because CTC East District is sponsoring this event, we are able to offer Central Texas Conference, North Texas Conference, and Northwest Texas Conference clergy and laity a considerable discount (a savings of $175 per person) compared to The Caring Congregation’s National Care Ministry Webinar pricing. Please consider registering a group from your church, or partnering with your neighboring UMC, to take advantage of this training opportunity. The training counts toward pastoral continuing education.
