Join us in prayer & support for Haiti
On Saturday, August 14, 2021, the southern region of Haiti was hit with a devastating magnitude 7.2 earthquake. All of our partners connected with the Northern Haiti Mission Connection are safe, yet felt the impact from the epicenter located in the south of the country. We ask that our congregations lift the Haitian people in prayer. You can contribute financially to this urgent crisis through UMCOR or the WNCC Mission Engagement Team. |

Spiritual Renewal for Clergy and Ministry Professionals
This season of ministry has been hard on leaders and many are exhausted, discouraged, and in need of time away. The WNCC Leadership Development Team wants to help nurture your own spiritual growth, as you nurture the spiritual walks of others. This could be through a renewal retreat or by engaging with a Spiritual Director. Ministry leaders (clergy and lay professionals) who sign up for a Spiritual Renewal offering, and pay a personal investment of $50 toward the experience, are eligible for up to $500 to cover the cost of registration, fees, and lodging/travel expenses. Funds are available because of the generosity of churches who pay their apportionments. |
