SUMMARY:Youth Forum Application Deadline - for General Council 44
DESCRIPTION:Youth Forum for General Council 44 will be online in 2022. What you might not know\, and what First Third Ministry Network is excited to announce is that Youth Forum Delegates will get a unique opportunity to do a paid internship as part of their participation in Youth Forum. \nHold the phone; what’s General Council and what’s Youth Forum? I’m glad you asked! General Council is the triennial (every three years) national business meeting of The United Church of Canada (UCC). In our system of governance\, The United Church of Canada consists of formal gatherings called “courts” where decisions are made via a democratic process. General Council is the national equivalent to our Regional Gatherings; the national “court” where representatives of the UCC from across the country gather to discuss and advocate for issues like Reconciliation\, Affirming Ministry\, Climate Justice and more; where visions for new and innovative ministry are presented and where proposals are examined and adopted by the national church. \nYouth Forum is a part of the General Council where United Church youth from across the country get to gather in leadership and worship to advocate for the needs of youth in the church and promote youth leadership in all aspects of church life. \nClick here for more information!

SUMMARY:Spiritual Conversations: Pastoral Ministry with Children\, Youth and Families
DESCRIPTION:A Continuing Education Certificate Course through the Vancouver School of Theology \nVancouver School of Theology and First Third Ministries Partnership ​ with ​Rev. Mary Nichol and Cathy Cryder \nIn ministry with children\, youth\, and their family we create space for spiritual conversations. Families seek support from ministers and congregational leaders on how to talk about God\, death\, and other existential questions such as\, “Who am I?” and “What am I meant to be doing in my life?” with the children and youth in their lives. \nThis short course is intended to deepen our understanding of the importance of listening to children and youth. We will discuss ways to support families in their conversations regarding death\, life and meaning. We will explore power\, posture\, and intention in supporting young people in their spiritual journey. ​This course will examine ways to partner with families and caregivers to support them in their spiritual nurture of their children. \nFor adult leaders\, available either in-person at the Vancouver School of Theology or online via Zoom. Course outline and details available here. Register at this link.
