SUMMARY:Sacred Vigil for Justice at Adelanto Detention Center
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the California-Pacific Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church Immigration Task Force\, standing in solidarity with detained individuals\, honoring lives lost\, and calling for accountability and justice.\n\nAs part of our journey to Annual Conference 2026 in the desert\, we will make a sacred stop at another place in the desert: the Adelanto Detention Center.\n\nThere\, we gather for a vigil of prayer\, remembrance\, and advocacy. We come to offer our presence and accompaniment to the nearly 2\,000 individuals currently detained under inhumane conditions\, many living in uncertainty\, isolation\, and fear.\n\nWe gather to remember and honor the lives lost—the three who have died within these walls in recent months\, in years past\, and the 46 individuals who have lost their lives while in immigration custody or detention. We also remember by name those whose stories call us to deeper accountability\, including Rene Goode and Alex Pretti. Their lives are not forgotten.\n\nWe stop because faith compels us to bear witness and resistance. We stop to lament the suffering that has taken place\, to stand in accompaniment with those detained and their families\, and to raise our collective voice in advocacy\, demanding accountability\, justice\, humane treatment\, and systemic change.\n\nIn this sacred act of  public witness\, we declare that every person is worthy of dignity\, compassion\, and care. We refuse to look away. We stop to remember\, to accompany\, to speak truth\, and to call for an end to detention practices and systems that dehumanize our immigrant siblings.\nClergy are encouraged to wear stoles.

DESCRIPTION:Registration Cost: Registration is FREE.  This event is sponsored by the Board of Ordained Ministry. \nRegistration Deadline: May 21\, 2026 \nLocation:  Zoom Online. \nRegister Here\nThe Orientation to Ministry provides a space for those who are discerning a call to leadership within or through the United Methodist Church to learn about the distinctions between ordination\, licensing\, and certification for ministry\, as well as to meet others who are also beginning this journey in our Conference.  This is a requirement for certification and a Local Pastor license as well as Provisional Membership (2020/2024 Book of Discipline\, ¶312) \nYou only need to attend one Orientation to Ministry. \nYou can expect to share in a time of devotion\, meet other candidates for ministry and key members of BOM\, learn more about “calling” and how to identify your unique call within a United Methodist framework\, as well. \nIf you’re just getting started\, we’ll help you identify what steps to take first in your process. \n2020/2024 Book of Discipline ¶312:\nOrientation to Ministry—An orientation to ministry is required for all candidates for licensed and ordained ministry. Attendance at the orientation and becoming a certified candidate may be sequential or concurrent. This common ministry preparation experience is for the purpose of building collegiality and understanding among the varieties of set-apart ministry (deacons\,\nelders\, local pastors). 1. The orientation shall be held in each annual conference and is the responsibility of the conference Board of Ordained Ministry. 2. Collegiality in ministry and commonalities and distinctions among the categories of ministry (deacon\, elder\, local pastor) will be emphasized to facilitate understanding and appreciation of the gifts contributed through team ministry\, and the practice of set-apart ministry within the United Methodist connection will be articulated. 3. Guidelines will be made available from the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry. \nRegister Here\nQuestions please contact:\nRev. Brian Belting\, Board of Ordained Ministry Vocational Discernment Coordinator (vdc@bom.calpacumc.org) or\nCathy Wilson\, Associate Director of Lay and Clergy Credentialing and Development (cwilson@calpacumc.org).
