GRASSROOTS ORGANIZINGRMN LAUNCHED ROOTED AND RISING IN SEPTEMBER 2020 IN AN EFFORT TO ORGANIZE VIRTUALLY. THERE WERE TWO PRIMARY PILLARS, GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING AND INTERSECTIONAL LGBTQ JUSTICE. THE LENGTHENING PANDEMIC IMPACTED THE SUCCESS OF PARTS OF WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED. BUT WE WERE ABLE TO DIVERT PROGRAMMING TO DIFFERENT KINDS OF VIRTUAL EVENTS TO KEEP FOLKS CONNECTED.WE ALSO ADDED TO THE TYPES OF RECONCILING MINISTRIES WE OFFER RECOGNIZING A REGIONAL RECONCILING GROUP THAT MIGHT SPAN CHURCHES OR DISTRICTS WITHIN THE UMC.THIS ALLOWED US TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT IN CHURCHES WITH RECONCILING CHRUCHES OR COMMUNITIES.
INCREASED VIRTUAL PRESENCE AND OFFERINGSRMN TOOK ADVANTAGE OF SOME OF THE SAVINGS IN OTHER AREAS DURING THE PANDEMIC TO INVEST IN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT AND MORE VIRTUAL EVENTS. 1) WE KICKED OFF WHAT WE HOPE IS A RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT EFFORT TO BUILD ONE OR MORE ONLINE TRAINING WEBINARS PER YEAR. THIS SHOULD BE A NEW REVENUE STREAM FOR US BEGINNING IN 2023.2) WE INCREASED THE NUMBER FREQUENCY OF VIRTUAL PORCHES, PARTNERING WITH SOME OF OUR EXTENSION MINISTRIES FOR EVENTS.3) WE CONTINUED TO DO VIRTUAL WORSHIP SERVICES AND ADDED TO THEM WITH VIRTUAL WORSHIP RESOURCES THAT CONGREGATIONS CAN OFFER THROUGH YOUTUBE
STRENGTHENING OUR PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE FUTURE OF THE CHURCHWITH CONTINUED DELAYS IN THE UNITED METHODIST GENERAL CONFERENCE, WE WORKED WITH PARTNERS ACROSS THE DENOMINATION ON BUILDING A COALITION THAT WILL WORK TOGETHER WHEN THE NEXT GENERAL CONFERENCE OCCURS. THIS COALITION HAS SEVERAL SUBGROUPS WORKING IN AREAS OF COMMUNICATIONS, STRATEGY, LEGISLATION, STAYING UMC, AND A VISION FOR THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH AFTER THE NEXT GENERAL CONFERENCE.
