UMR Pastor & Family Retreat-Oct 14-16

This year we are having a retreat for the entire family. Please plan to join us at Village Creek Bible Camp as we provide a place for you and your entire family to enjoy a weekend with other pastors of the UMR. We will have some info later on hotel level lodging options for couples that prefer to upgrade their overnight accommodations and still participate in the daytime activities at camp.

Resources for Pastors and Their Families

Parsonage.org is a great resource web site for pastors and their families produced by Focus on the Family. It contains excellent resources, services and links that provide help for pastors and their families. This site is available here: Parsonage.

The CareGiving Ministries page on the parsonage.org site is specially designed for those in ministry who need help NOW! Access the page and its resources here: CareGiving Ministries.

“How to Prevent Ministry Burnout – Survival Guide” is available by downloading from BuildingChurchLeaders.com. It contains six articles from Leadership journal with tips “from experts who have been through burnout and know some of the causes. The articles help keep your priorities in order, your integrity high, and your attitude positive when things get tough.” To download, go here: Building Church Leaders.

If you know of a resource for the health and enrichment of those in ministry, please e-mail Tim Blackburn and your recommendation may be added to this list in the future.
