Inclusion and Reconciliation Team
Participant Spotlight: Patsy Janeba
"My nephew is trans, and for years I tried to figure out how to convey to him that every teen is uncomfortable with their body. 'Therefore, just wait and you’ll be fine with your female body.' I was the one that needed to 'figure out' who he was and that God created him to be the person he is today. He went from being a very unhappy confused female teenager to a happy productive young man. God calls us to love each person that he has created for who they are, not who we would have them be. A goal within the IRT is to help us take the blinders off, and to view all marginalized people, and everyone, as people to be loved and accepted as God’s beautiful creation. That is why I felt drawn to join this mission."
Want to join us? Contact Council liaison Kristin Boyd or staff liaison Samantha Johnson

Join us for a day of sharing dreams that will focus on how to decipher dreams using the projective dreamwork method of “in my imagined version of this dream.” With this practice, “every dream becomes everybody’s dream!” The majority of the class will offer hands-on experience of exploring the symbols and metaphors of volunteered dreams so we can offer possible meanings, always remembering that only the dreamer can say with any certainty what his or her dream means. Discussions will include how to increase dream recall, universal dream symbols, Jungian concepts, and how dreamwork inspires empathy and compassion. Billie Ortiz (friend of Pastor Mary's), who has been a dream worker for decades, will facilitate the workshop. Click here to learn more about Billie, and click here to learn more about projective dreamwork!
The cost is $58 for the day. You are invited to bring your own lunch or order something to be delivered. REGISTER HERE! (signing up on the clipboards on Sunday mornings does NOT confirm your registration!) The minimum number of participants is 10, and the maximum number is 25.
Registration deadline is April 5.
