Best Practices

This best practices guide is intended to share inspiration, ideas, and excellence in our work of witness and holy living. This site seeks a framework of  Best Practice Structures and cutting-edge implementation strategies for use in your setting.

 

We begin with ideas related to welcome and hospitality at special seasons of the church: Rally Day, Christmas, and Lent and Easter. Become a Neighborhood Investigator, detecting new opportunities for ministry.

“Our synod office is located on land which is part of the traditional territory of the Lenni-Lenape, called “Lenapehoking.” The Lenape People lived in harmony with one another upon this territory for thousands of years. During the colonial era and early federal period, many were removed west and north, but some also remain among the continuing historical tribal communities of the region: The Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation; the Ramapough Lenape Nation; and the Powhatan Renape Nation, The Nanticoke of Millsboro Delaware, and the Lenape of Cheswold Delaware. We acknowledge the Lenni-Lenape as the original people of this land and their continuing relationship with their territory. In our acknowledgment of the continued presence of Lenape people in their homeland, we affirm the aspiration of the great Lenape Chief Tamanend, that there be harmony between the indigenous people of this land and the descendants of the immigrants to this land, “as long as the rivers and creeks flow, and the sun, moon, and stars shine.”
