Registration Deadline: June 15, 2022 (max. 30 participants)
This series is sponsored by East District Lay Servant Ministries and open to participants from all Cal-Pac districts. The class size will max at 30 participants and registration will close if that number is reached before June 15.
Offering practical guidelines for avoiding common pitfalls of public prayer. Prayer is something we learn; it is something that can be taught. For many, however, the only teaching about prayer they ever receive is modeled in Sunday worship.
This course may challenge some of your assumptions, test some of your preconceived ideas, stretch your thinking, and enrich your prayer life. It will, at the very least, present you with an opportunity to grow in the discipline of leading public prayer.
The instructor is Rev. Martin Finau, the pastor at Temple City First UMC in the East District.
- Attendance is required at all sessions for credit. All those seeking certification as a Certified Lay Servant (CLS) are invited to attend. The Basic Class and one Advanced Class is required to successfully apply for CLS status within 3 years. For more information about Lay Servant Ministries, click here.
- Provide your own books: All participants will need a copy Shaping the Prayers of the People: The Art of Intercession by Samuel Wells and Abigail Kocher (Amazon, Cokesbury)
- Technical requirements: To participate in Zoom meetings, participants must have a reliable Internet connection, and a laptop, tablet, or smartphone device that can download and install the Zoom app. A web or phone camera and a microphone are highly recommended, although some users may call in via phone if a mic is not available.
Zoom information will be included in your confirmation email.

This camp is for Youth and Young Adults (ages 14-26).
Spanglish 2022 is taking place on July 8-10, 2022, at Angeles Crest Camp in Palmdale, CA.
This year’s theme “God is our refuge y nuestra fortaleza” is based on Psalm 91:2.
What is UMC Spanglish’s Vision?
Under the leadership of a team that involves faithful servants of God that are laity, clergy, young people, and key UMC Staff. The God vision is to become a model that can be duplicated and easily modified throughout the UMC connection with the purpose of creating mature disciples of Christ that will share Jesus with the world!
What makes UMC Spanglish unique?
Spanglish is an ongoing new bilingual/bicultural youth and young adults’ ministry (ages 14-26) that has served effectively for the past four years by using an intentional mentorship model through the Spanglish Design Team. The Team provides leadership and spiritual growth opportunities for our young people to receive hands-on training, and monthly meetings as we prayerfully put together the Spanglish event, and other ongoing discipleship and evangelical events throughout the connection targeting 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation Hispanic/Latino young people from all over our UMC connection.
We call on all members of the UM Connection to join us in prayer for our Hispanic/Latino youth and young adults and also for the 2022 Spanglish camp.
