SUMMARY:Deepen your understanding of Indigenous Peoples – The Blanket Exercise
DESCRIPTION:SEPA Synod is proud to welcome Vance Blackfox\, Director of Indigenous Ministries and Tribal Relations for the ELCA\, on Wednesday February 1st to lead us in the Blanket Exercise. \nThe Blanket Exercise is an experiential learning tool that leads a group of participants through 500+ years of Indigenous history\, highlighting the relationship between the tribal nations and the European explorers\, colonial setters\, and U.S. federal and state governments. \nThe exercise is interactive and requires participants\, as they are able\, to stand and move throughout the first hour of the experience.  The second hour allows for participants to process the experience and share what they may have learned and what they will take away. \nThe Blanket Exercise was first created in Canada and has been adapted and used to educate general populations there\, in the United States\, and in many other parts of the world.  The exercise does engage participants both intellectually and emotionally and can in some instances affect individuals deeply. \nDue to the honest nature of the information included in the narration of the exercise\, all participants are expected to be 15 years of age or older. \nWe will gather for this exercise on the Philadelphia campus of United Lutheran Seminary (7301 Germantown Ave Philadelphia\, PA 19119) in the Brossman Center in Benbow Hall at 7pm. All are welcome and it’s a free event\, but we are asking folks to register ahead of time so we can prepare a big enough space for the exercise. \nSubmit an RSVP here – https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0A44ADAC2DA3F49-blanket

SUMMARY:Preaching Perspectives: Stewardship Preaching in Ordinary Time\, Year A
DESCRIPTION:Stewardship is best approached as a year-round ministry\, not just an emphasis for a few weeks in the fall. Pastors will gather to examine the Revised Common Lectionary lessons for Ordinary Time\, Year A\, and develop ideas and themes for preaching on holistic stewardship during this summer and fall. How do we teach\, inspire and equip God’s people to become stewards of all that God has entrusted to them? The RCL\nreadings offer many opportunities. \nWorkshop Presenter\nPastor Rob Blezard is passionate about stewardship\, which he sees as a key element of our walk as disciples of Christ. God has entrusted us with so much – our time\, our health\, our relationships\, our intelligence\, our faith\, our family\, our environment\, our world\, our money\, and so much more. Stewardship involves using ALL these gifts wisely and for God’s purposes. Practicing wise and faithful stewardship\, we become the\npeople that God wants us to be\, we have the lives that God wants us to have\, and we accomplish the mission God wants us to accomplish. \nFor more informaton download a flyer: Preaching Perspectives promo Spring 2023
