An Invitation from the Leadership Team
Introducing “Read & Feed” book group!
Would you like to read more? With all the congregational concerns you’re coping with, is it hard to take the time to read? Do you wish you had someone to talk to about something great you’ve read?
Thursdays at 12:30pm via Zoom, beginning September 12th! Use this link to join
We will be reading books that deal with faith, leadership, pastoral concerns, church life etc… and meet over lunch for discussion and hopefully deepening our faith and call. What a great way to learn and grow – and get to know our colleagues better! Read a book, Feed your soul!
The first book we’ll be reading is How To Lead When You Don’t Know Where You’re Going: Leading in a Liminal Season by Susan Beaumont – we’ll be discussing a chapter a week.
Questions? Please reach out to Pastor Lisa Holliday rev_lisa_holliday@yahoo.com

“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.”
