Our Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod met in Assembly, more than 500 strong, May 3 and 4. Featured presentations by Bishop Claire Burkat and Pastor Jay Gamelin of Lexington, SC, inspired and challenged leaders to focus on making disciples in and out of church and to listen to the changing world around them, then take some risks to connect with people not connected with the church. We also saw numerous examples of how congregations, the Synod and the ELCA work together to “show” Jesus to our communities.
