Bishop's letter

This letter from Bishop Peggy A. Johnson includes a transition calendar that you are encouraged to use:

Transition Workshops

Attendance at a transition workshop is an important piece of a successful pastoral transition.  Full-time pastors and at least one member of the SPRC for congregations that are being served by full-time pastors are required to attend one of these.  Part-time pastors and at least one member of the SPRC for congregations that are being served by part-time pastors are strongly encouraged to attend one of these.
