HAVING AN ONLINE CONVERSATION Dear Shepherd's Covenant Colleagues, 
We are excited!! This coming Thursday, August 21, our Pastoral Ministries Division will be featured on the Focus on the Family radio broadcast entitled "Understanding the Challenges of the Pastorate." (Click here to find a station in your area.) Then, from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. (MDT), we will be hosting our very first online forum event. Please join us. Here is what you do: JOIN THE FORUM TODAY Get a head start by simply clicking here to "join" the forums, agreeing to the standard Terms and Conditions, then entering a username, password and avatar icon (as described in our forum policies). You will then be able to participate in any of our Focus on the Family forums. Then, on Thursday afternoon, login to the Pastoral Family Forums and select the "Live Forum Event" topic to follow the conversations and submit your own questions and comments. SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS You can submit a question for the event at any time by logging into the Pastoral Family Forums, clicking on the "Live Forum Event" topic, then clicking on the "New Topic" link in the "Pastoral Family" subheader box directly beneath the main header. Enter a question for the panel as the Message Title, then explain it more fully in the Message Text box. When you are done, click the Post Message button. Once a moderator has approved it, your topic/question will be displayed. INVITE OTHERS TO PARTICIPATE Because this is our very first live forum (I know we are a little slow technologically), we are very excited about greeting you and making some new friends, as well. Please consider forwarding this email to a colleague by using the "Forward to a Friend" button at the bottom of this page, or direct them to the online version of this issue of The Shepherd's Covenant Encourager at http://www.parsonage.org/images/sce/issues/SCE-080818.html. You could be doing us a favor and perhaps making a contribution to the ministry of one of your colleagues. PLEASE PRAY FOR US We are not interested in just doing something new. We have been praying that our online forum event would prove to be helpful, nurturing, renewing and healing. You can help us by taking a moment and asking God to favor us technically, emotionally and creatively. So, thanks for letting us use this weekly update to promote ourselves a bit. Again, we are excited about the opportunity and are very hopeful that you will join us on Thursday, Aug. 21, for both the Focus on the Family radio broadcast and then the live forum event from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. (MDT). There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord" (Prov. 21:30). We really do believe that. Have a great week!
