Dear Clergy Spouses,
 
Greetings, joy and peace to each of you.  The Northwest District of the
UMC would like to invite you to a seminar especially for Clergy Spouses
conducted by authors Teresa Flint-Borden and Barbara Cooper (Breaking the
Sound Barrier – Women Married to Men in Ministry – published late 2007). 
Both Teresa and Barbara are terrific speakers and presenters as well as
clergy spouses themselves.  We will focus on the uniqueness of being
clergy spouses, male and female, the rewards and the problems encountered
by each of us in that position and ways in which we can deal with, and
react to various circumstances.  Retirees, especially, we need your
wisdom, input, and experiences.
 
This day will also be a relaxing and fun day as we intersperse a “Spa
Day” with our seminars including hand, foot, and neck massages.  In
addition, we will have a time to connect to our fellow spouses, either
renewing old friendships, or making new ones.  New Blessings await!! Be
Ready!!!!
 
The seminar will be offered at Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church in
Decatur, Alabama, April 5, 2008.  We are enclosing a brochure of the
event for your information and registration.  We encourage each of you to
make a special effort to attend this event just for spouses.  The fee for
the seminar will cover the cost of lunch as well as a copy of the book by
the speakers.  For those needing a nursery, one will be offered at no
cost.  Scholarships are available, if needed, by contacting the District
Office.  
 
If you want to travel to Decatur the Friday night before, information on
motels is included in the brochure.
 
We encourage and look forward to seeing each of you and hope you will
make a special effort to attend.  There aren’t too many events just for
spouses!  If you have more questions you may call Wesley Memorial at
256-355-1842 or the District office at 256-353-0448.
 
In His Service,
 
Janice Noble, District Superintendent Spouse
 
Jane Stonbraker, Clergy Spouse, Seminar Coordinator
