FROM THE SYNOD OF LINCOLN TRAILS – COACHING OPPORTUNITY

Happy New Year Colleagues and Friends –

SOLT (The Synod of Lincoln Trails) has created an economical opportunity for pastors to receive short term, small group coaching under the umbrella topic of serving in a new call during COVID. Eligible folks are pastors (ordained or commissioned, first call or seasoned, congregational or chaplaincy-based, etc.) who began a call between about Autumn 2019 and Spring 2021.

Originally this program was designed to only help SOLT pastors facing new calls during COVID, but the expressed need has been so great that we’re opening it up to all pastors in PC(USA).  If you think this could be of help to your pastors, you are welcome to share this info with them.  The application can be found at lincolntrails.org.  Already there are participants from every U.S. time zone.

Here are the details:

The coaching program has three elements, all via ZOOM:

1. It starts February 4th(1-3 pm Eastern) with a two-hour coaching and resilience workshop led by Rev. Dr. Laurie Ferguson.
2. It then moves into 5 90-minute small group coaching sessions with peers, and with an International Coach Federation-trained, Presbyterian coach, every 2-3 weeks.
3. There will be a final “reflection, wrap up and next steps” session at the end.

The cost per person is $270 for pastors outside of the Synod of Lincoln Trails.

Again the details and application are at lincolntrails.org and you are welcome to copy, paste and pass along any of this info to your pastors.  Please feel free to contact me separately, with any questions, at dingwoman@gmail.com or sara@lincolntrails.org.

To better days, weeks and months ahead!

In Christ,

Sara
