Safety Webinar Available

Sunday, March 24th, from 3:00PM-5:00PM in the office conference room there will be a viewing of the safety webinar required for volunteers who work with children, youth, and/or vulnerable adults.  This webinar is put on by the Rio Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church.  The webinar, called TrustEd con Confianza, focuses on how churches can create best practices regarding the safety of those in their care.  This is a follow up to the Safe Gatherings course and test, and participants may ask the facilitator questions or discuss scenarios.
 
In order to receive credit for the webinar, participants must create an account (which automatically initiates a background check) through Safe Gatherings (safegatherings.com).  Those needing assistance with creating an account may come to the office conference room at 2:00PM, prior to the start of the webinar.  To create an account and run a background check, participants must have the name, phone number, and e-mail address of a clergy that knows him or her (not the current pastor) and a professional reference’s name, phone number, and e-mail address.
 
For more information or to ask questions, please call the church office at 278-3135.
