“It’s just a meal…with a dose of encouragement and prayer.”
Hey, working clergy! You have a huge job. Few professions require the breadth of expertise that our work demands. Throw in a strange year when we are all learning new skills and creating new pathways for ministry, it can be overwhelming. In our current season of physical distancing, it might feel lonely.
We invite you to a Table of Grace, where in our shared covenant and the divine One who calls us, we will share a meal/snack/coffee/tea, scripture reading, reflection, and prayers. This table doesn’t require a sign-up or commitment from you: you can join us on when you are available or when you just need to know you aren’t alone. You may participate as little or as much as you desire.
We know that many of us are “Zoom’d out” but we hope that you will give it a try, and that the scripture reading, reflection, and prayer time will provide encouragement, support, and a mid-week lift for your soul.

A tod@s los Pastor@s de la Conferencia Anual California-Pacifico.
Pastores en conversación alrededor de la “Mesa de Gracia”
“Una conversación en español alrededor de la mesa… acompañada con oración y apoyo”
Estimad@ consierv@,
Tenemos una gran responsabilidad en el ministerio. Pocas profesiones requieren la amplia gama de conocimientos y habilidades que nuestro ministerio de pastores demanda. Además, durante este tiempo nos hemos visto con la necesidad de adquirir nuevas habilidades y crear nuevas avenidas para desarrollar nuestros ministerios. Todo esto puede ser más de lo que podamos soportar en la presente situación de la pandemia y en la cual nos podemos sentir que estamos solos en el ministerio.
Les invitamos a una conversación alrededor de la “Mesa de Gracia” (en español) en donde considerando nuestro mutuo voto de servicio y respondiendo a nuestro llamado pastoral, compartiremos la comida, las Escrituras, tiempo de reflexión y oraciones.
Para participar de esta mesa no requiere inscribirse o un compromiso constante, puede participar cuando pueda o cuando lo necesite. Puede participar ocasionalmente o tanto como pueda y quiera. Esta abierto para todos los pastores y esta “Mesa de Gracia” será en español.
Realmente esperamos que lo intenten y que a través de las Escrituras que compartamos, la meditación en la Palabra, y la oración, podamos proveernos mutuamente de apoyo y animo a la mitad de cada semana.

Prerequisite: Basic LSM
This course helps participants understand their spiritual gifts and how the church can use those gifts to fulfill its mission and ministry. Participants will also learn what it means to be a spiritual leader and will be equipped to lead others in exploring and using their spiritual gifts.
- All those seeking certification as a Certified Lay Servant are invited to attend. To learn more about Lay Servant Ministries, click here.
- Attendance is required at all sessions for credit.
- Provide your own book: Each One a Minister, a revised and enlarged edition of Carter’s previous book by the same title, begins with a 6-session study of Ephesians. Carter engages the reader in discovering the meaning of church, ministry, and gifts — from the early church up to the present. (available at The Upper Room)
- As a follow-up to the Bible study, readers and study groups look at ways in which God’s gifts are practical as well as spiritual. Four ministry categories, closely connected to the congregational primary task (receive, relate, equip, send), are identified. Scripture readings, activities, and ways to implement specific ministries are suggested.
- Designed to encourage individuals to discover God’s call to ministry in their own lives, Each One a Minister leads toward practical ways of using gifts in ministries in our congregations and in our communities. An ideal resource for clergy, lay leaders, study groups, and others seeking to identify and use their gifts in meaningful ways.
You will receive the Zoom link in your registration confirmation.
- Technical requirements: To participate in Zoom meetings, participants must have a reliable Internet connection, and a laptop, tablet, or smartphone device that can download and install the Zoom app. A web or phone camera and a microphone are highly recommended, although some users may call in via phone if a mic is not available.
