Heartland Youth Bonfire
"At all Heartland Presbytery sponsored events, youth participants or youth groups must be accompanied by an adult sponsor who will chaperone throughout the event. Adult sponsors are responsible for having current medical and photo release forms for each of their students in attendance. If a student is not to be photographed, it is the responsibility of the adult sponsor to notify the Event Coordinator prior to the event. For groups without a release form, a standard version is available for download on the Presbytery website."
It is permissible for youth groups/churches without adult chaperones to arrange “sponsor sharing” with other leaders prior to an event.

Anti-Racism 201
Every Minister Member of Heartland Presbytery is required to take anti-racism training yearly. In partnership with the Open Table the Presbytery will offer four opportunities in 2022. These events will be repeated in the fall on a Saturday. If you have taken an anti-racism course in 2022 through another organization please reach out to the Presbyter for Vision and Leadership with details on that training.
You may attend either session or both.
Anti-Racism 201
June 22, 2022, 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
Central Presbyterian Church
Lunch is included
The three-hour Antiracism and Organizing 201 training continues building on the foundations offered in Antiracism 101 by focusing on the socialization cycle and white supremacy culture characteristics embedded in all institutions. Through this course, participants will identify key socialization impacts and cultural characteristics that show up within themselves and their organization. It is not enough for participants to understand these oppressive systems—we want them to visualize and center their organizations free of these systems. Our interactive approach is designed to aid participants in recognizing and evaluating the ways that socialization, relationships, and culture not only encompass, but also jeopardize the work they do. Register here.
The Antiracism & Organizing 201 module includes:
History of Racism
How we got here. (The creation of race, racial hierarchy, and policies.)
Socialization Cycle
How cultural norms and biases are created & maintained intergenerationally.
White Supremacy Cultural Standards
Definition of culture & White culture
Values, Mores, Norms
Further studying of Tema Okun & Kenneth Jones Work
Organizing: Interrupting White Supremacy Culture Standards
Review antidotes
Discuss organizational WSC that can change
Apply organizing model to interrupt

Project Regeneration
The COVID-19 pandemic prompted many churches to innovate in new and inspiring ways. It also brought to the surface larger questions for congregations.
You may be wondering if your church is being called to new ministries, or if the ministry you were doing prior to the pandemic is still sustainable.
Join us on Monday, June 20 to learn more about Project Regeneration. Visit our News page for more details.
