Every multiple staff team goes through stages of development and change as they work together toward fulfilling the mission of the congregation. Along the way, a team needs to be mindful of developing its own capacities—not just as individuals, but also as a team.
This “day away” for multiple staffs will focus on helping you:
Claim your strengths and your growing edges
Utilize some frameworks for reviewing the development of a staff team and the natural challenges and opportunities
Reflect upon your own resilience and capacities to navigate the inevitable moments of differences
Strengthen practices of resilience, dealing with differences, and “stepping up” individually and as a team to what you are called to be and to become
The day will be led by Rev. Lawrence Palmieri Peers who is a Senior Consultant with the Alban Institute, a national interfaith resource for congregations, their staff and their leaders AND a Consultant to the Pastoral Excellence Program of the Massachusetts Conference, UCC. His background includes work on multiple staffs within a congregation, middle judicatory, non-profits and national denominational settings. You MUST register by January 14, 2012.

Racism is not a thing of the past. It continues to permeate our institutions, granting unearned advantages to white people, creating inequities for people of color, and dehumanizing everyone. Now, as always, it is critically important that white people join people of color in naming and confronting racism in all its forms ~ personal, interpersonal, cultural, and institutional.
The 2011 Annual Meeting of the Mass Conference, UCC called on all churches to be proactive in learning about and taking action against racism. This training is a response to that call. It is meant for white people who would like to deepen their commitment and skills in challenging racism and white privilege, and to move their own congregations forward on these issues. This workshop is designed as a supplement to, not a replacement for, multi-racial contexts where people of diverse races strategize together about how racism can be challenged and dismantled. We welcome both lay people and clergy.
Allies for Change, a nationally recognized network of anti-oppression educators, will guide us in this training. Participants will do some deep, soul-stretching work and connect with other white people committed to racial justice. We encourage you to come with a team-mate from your church or local area. We ask that participants agree not only to be part of initiatives in their own congregations, but also to be available to assist at least one other congregation. Ongoing support will be provided.
Workshop hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 10, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11. The cost for this workshop is $50 per participant, which includes all meals. Limited rooms at the Walker Center are available for an additional $30. Please register and pay online by February 1, 2012. If you prefer, you may mail a check made out to MACUCC for $50 for the workshop, or $80 for the workshop plus lodging, with "Anti-Racism Training" in the memo, and include your name, address, phone number, email, church name and town. Send to: MACUCC, 1 Badger Rd., Framingham, MA 01702 Att: Karen Methot.
A maximum of three participants per church, please.
