2024 REDI training is now ready for all active Florida clergy
Our REDI training is now ready! What is REDI training you may ask? It stands for Racial, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, and it is a training that all active, authorized clergy with their standing in the Florida Conference of the United Church of Christ will be required to complete. The Florida Conference will offer this training two times in 2024. Each training will consist of two four-hour Zoom videoconference sessions on consecutive days. The first training in 2024 will take place Monday, April 22, and Tuesday, April 23, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. each day. The last training is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 20, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday, Sept. 21, from 8 a.m. to noon. Click here to learn more or register!
Missing our emails?
If you've been missing our e-Celebrate and Celebrate Florida email newsletters, you may have missed the announcement last December that we discontinued e-Celebrate, which had been published every other week, in favor of a new weekly newsletter that we're calling The Sunshine Connection until we come up with a better name. If you'd like to start receiving The Sunshine Connection, you can sign up here. In addition, starting this year, Celebrate Florida will be published quarterly, at the end of March, June, September and December, rather than every other month as it had been. If you've already subscribed, you don't need to do anything. If you'd like to subscribe or update your email address, go here.
