There are still quite a few of you that haven't sent your forms or signed up for a time slot. Please make that a priority this week.
Registration times are now open for Pastor Evaluations with DS Mary Rodgers. All time slots are first come, first served. Please note whether you have signed up for an in person meeting or a Zoom meeting and be sure to register based on your status of either part time or full time. If you are retiring, resigning or changing churches, neither you nor the church need to do the evaluations. Thank you!
The links to register are below.

2025 Missouri Preaching Academy – May 6-7
As pastors, there are times when we step into the pulpit, and the Good News is just flowing through us. Yet, there are other times when we may not feel that Good News for ourselves, but we need to proclaim it. These contrasting feelings are our focus this year at Preaching Academy. Join us this May as we will hear from pastors who have faced situations when they have felt broken-hearted, anxious or burned-out and even joyful when others in their ministry context are not. We will learn from their experiences and engage in small group work to help process times when you have had to do the same.
