Thanks to Carina Wilson and Susan Naylor for sharing these pictures from
Thursday's family picnic.
Wireless Network Upgrade
Technology Support will upgrade the wireless network in the Temple and
Auditorium in the next few weeks. These upgrades will allow IHQ staff to access
network drives, such as the M:\ drive, without extra software. Extra wireless
access points will be added to improve coverage. Watch for more information
later in June.

Interpersonal Peacebuilding
Interpersonal Peacebuilding is a multi-session class on understanding
yourself and others during differences, and how to resolve differences through
collaboration. This training is excellent for anyone who wants to learn the
skills needed to resolve conflict in their daily life.
“I really enjoyed learning the different Style Profiles we each have
and ways to communicate with each other. What a wonderful tool to have for
us in building the Kingdom of God.” --Michelle Booth

Listening Ear
Continuing the personal development started with Interpersonal Peacebuilding,
we are now offering Listening Ear courses. This training is a 15-hour course.
Each person has extraordinary God-given potential for resolving their
conflicts. This training works on skills that help the listener guide a
person to recognize, access and structure their resources in a way that can help
the person deal with the conflict in a healthy, positive manner, if they so
choose.
Listening Ear participants learn how to assist one party without fixing them,
giving advice, or counseling.
