Scripture Circles - led by Julie Stoll Pastors’ busy schedules demand so much! The Dakotas annual conference wants to pour back into you. So we are offering a facilitated, zoom discussion based on the needs and thoughts of each clergy in the group. We have set them up as cohorts for depth of relationships and discussion.

Who is it for? Interested lay people, with a letter of referral from their pastor. Those who have already attended the Basic Class or Discernment Retreat and are unsure, are particularly encouraged to sign up. 

A discernment retreat is the entry point for those exploring a call to pastoral and lay ministry. Participants are equipped and inspired to serve as a leader in various ministry areas inside and outside your congregation. Join us March 25, 2023 and April 29, 2023 at 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. CST at the Conference Office in Mitchell or on Zoom.

Bible Women: Their Stories via Art Each small group time will involve looking at a different work or works of art con-nected to the women of scripture, and will include discussion, activities and ex-ploring scripture. Art helps us think deeply about and experience scripture in a unique way. Open your eyes, mind and heart to experience God in this creative way with your clergy colleagues.
