Dear Sisters and Brothers,
A visit to the Upcoming Events/Register tab on the Mercer School homepage will reveal that there is a lot going on between now and June of this year at your school. Here I want to highlight just a couple of upcoming events. Return here in a few days as I will bring more forward. Consider yourself warmly invited to come and participate!
On April 23rd, we will hold our ongoing Racism Awareness Program training. This session, however, will not take place at Garden City. This session will be over to the east, at Saint Luke's Parish in East Hampton. The training is daylong, opening at 10 am and closing at 4 pm. At Mercer we are grateful to Saint Luke's Rector, the Reverend Denis Brunelle, and to the staff and people of the parish. You can find out more and easily register by clicking on the following web address:
We are very happy to welcome author and consultant Joy Skjegstad for a 2-day conference open to all on May 1 and 2. The theme is: New Community Ministry, New Funding Partners. These two days will assist clergy and lay leaders in undertaking effective ministry in the local community and in finding funding to make it possible. Join us for one or both days at Mercer School of Theology. For full information on who our presenter is and what this conference will bring to you and your church, as well as to easily register, visit this web address:
"With the right approach, it is possible for a small group of people to make a big impact. It will take focus and clarity about what you are trying to accomplish, but the small church can make a big impact in the world through partnerships, creative use of resources, and a focus on relational ministry. Small congregations have unique strengths that can result in strong and effective community ministry."~ Joy Skjegstad

Peace,
