Self-Care for Clergy Workshop - Clergy, are you exhausted by the demands of your ministry? Do you have trouble saying “no” to requests from your parishioners, church workers and volunteers? Would you benefit from additional energy to focus on your personal needs, family, church and community? This continual giving takes its toll over time. At some point, you might find that you need to be recharged – you might need the coaching and guidance to keep performing at the level your ministry demands. We invite you to register to attend a Self-Care for Clergy Workshop – designed to provide a break from your day-to-day responsibilities and allow you to reflect, revive and renew the spirit and potential that effective ministry requires.
