Pastor Rea equips and supports the youth and young adults of our synod and their adult leaders.
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod, ELCA is a Reconciling in Christ synod.
We, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod of the ELCA, rooted in Jesus’ gospel of liberation, unconditional love, and hospitality, welcome all into fellowship and community. This welcome includes those who have traditionally been marginalized in society inclusive of all sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, racial and ethnic backgrounds, physical and mental abilities, and stations in life. As God’s beloved, we are guided by the Holy Spirit, committed to the work of racial equity, and called to the pursuit of justice throughout our communities. We encourage all of our congregations to engage in this work of the gospel, creating safe spaces for all people to bravely be their full selves. We celebrate and affirm all of God’s children just as they are with all of their differences and gifts.
We are excited to invite you to an upcoming Lunch & Learn webinar in partnership with Springtide Research Institute, ELCA Youth Ministry Network and ELCA Youth Ministry.
On January 12, 2023, at noon CST, Springtide Research Institute will share their latest research on “Caring for Gen Z in a Post Pandemic World.” For many young people, there is no normal to return to after the pandemic. Their entire lives have changed. Springtide’s pandemic research focused on what young people are experiencing, how they view the future, and most importantly, what you can do to support them. We invite you as ministry leaders and volunteers to come together for this virtual event to strengthen the ministries you are a part of and discover how we can best tend to the young people and communities we serve.
Join us as we learn together from this research and share in a brief Q&A time with our Springtide Researchers!
Where: Zoom (link will be sent upon registration)
When: January 12, 2023
