An Oasis is "a place between." It is a place of rest. It is a place of growth. It is a place of life in the middle of a desert. Oasis is also the Network's online gathering. It is a place between where we are now, and where God is leading us. It is a place of refreshment, renewal, learning and connection. Twice this year, members of the Network are invited to come together for an online gathering. Together, we will renew, learn and connect. Oasis: March 20, 2025 Topic: "Saying 'Yes' and saying 'No' - Self-Care in Ministry" We will look at different ways of providing self-care for ourselves, especially in the times we don’t feel we are “rockin’ it!” Pulling from over 25 years of ordained pastoral ministry, three entrepreneurial endeavors that threaten to take WAY TOO much time his time, and a slew of interests that keep pilling up, John will walk through practical ways that he has found to make self-care work for him, and through it, be a better human. You will walk away from this Oasis session with practical tools and ideas to offer yourself the care you deserve (yes… deserve). Cost for Network Members (Plus level or higher): Free!
