Planned Giving Workshops
The Southwest Conference is sponsoring three Planned Giving Workshops in January. Hans Holznagel and Donaldson Hill, from our national offices in Cleveland, will be here to conduct these workshops.
We are all looking for alternative sources of funding, and for long-term strategies to help build our budgets and strengthen our mission. This is a great opportunity for you and some of the leaders of your church to learn about Planned Giving, Endowment Giving, Wills and Bequests as tools to use to sustain the mission and ministry of your church.
Here are the dates and locations:
Sat., January 17 at Church of the Red Rocks in Sedona for Northern Arizona churches
Monday, January 19 at Shepherd of the Hills for East Valley Phoenix churches
Wednesday, January 21 at Church of the Palms for West Valley Phoenix churches.
Hans was here in November for workshops in Albuquerque, Tucson and Central Phoenix.

Justice and Witness Summit
A two-day, overnight Justice and Witness summit will be held in Phoenix on Monday, Feb. 9 and Tuesday, Feb. 10. The Rev. Wally Ryan-Kuroiwa, Executive Minister for the Economic Justice team in Cleveland will be the presenter for the summit.
We are asking every church to send a delegate, and inviting all authorized clergy who are able to attend. At this event, we will build a long-range vision for Justice and Witness in the life of the Southwest Conference.
More information will follow, but make plans now to select and send your delegate to this very important event in the life of the Conference. Scholarships to help cover costs will be available for those who need it.
