Update: Reopening best practices for churches during COVID |
The Eastern PA Conference places the health and welfare of our members and the surrounding community as the first priority in making decisions around occupancy. As COVID-19 numbers continue to rise, we recommend churches monitor their city or county’s infection rates, modify their reopening strategies, and either return to virtual offerings or decrease in room capacity, as necessary.
Congregations that reopen must be committed to the goal of flattening the virus’s curve by following all state and city guidelines. They should have a reopening plan approved by their church’s administrative council. Please continue to monitor both the PA.gov and CDC.gov websites for up-to-date information. Learn more…

CONAM forum to explore Native American sports mascots, Nov. 8 on Zoom |
After decades of losses in their fight against the misuse of Native American culture for sports team mascots, advocates gained a rare major victory this past summer. That’s when the NFL’s Washington Football Team adopted that temporary identity after suddenly retiring its popular name that for so long has offended indigenous people.
Yet, the fight for justice and respect against Native American sports mascots is a difficult one waged against stubborn forces. Those forces range from professional sports to high school teams and unrepentant school officials across America.
The Eastern PA Conference Committee on Native American Ministries (CONAM) will host a forum via Zoom on Sunday, Nov. 8, at 4 PM, during the nation’s Native American Heritage Month, to address this justice concern. CONAM’s new partner, the Coalition of Natives and Allies (CNA), will present enlightening information and facilitate discussion, no doubt hoping to welcome new allies to this fight. Learn more...

By Water & the Spirit: Theology & Practice of Baptism |
A Zoom-based study offered by the Board of Ordained Ministry Zoom Sessions: Saturday November 7, 9:00-11:30 AM Saturday November 21, 9:00-11:30 AM.
Baptism is at the core of who we are as Christians — but how well do we truly understand this sacrament? Those of us who serve in church leadership often face practical questions with deep theological roots. Why do we baptize? What happens in baptism? Why do we baptize infants? What do we mean when we say “remember your baptism” — especially if baptized as an infant? Why don’t we re-baptize? Why don’t we do private baptisms? And how do we navigate the sacrament of baptism in a season of social distancing? By getting to the theological heart of baptism, we as church leaders can offer better and more meaningful answers to these questions that so often arise from the pews.
This Zoom-based study is designed to help all church leaders — and in particular, our licensed local pastors and lay-supply pastors — to wrestle with this theological foundation of baptism. Learn more...

The Commission on Sessions had a positive evaluation of the October 13-14 virtual Annual Conference.

Commission members credited Conference staff and ministry leaders for the session's success, including the electronic voting.
The Communications Office prepared an Annual Conference Report for the Conference website and UM News. Also, here are total offerings received as part of Annual Conference:
Scholarships: $820.
Board of Ordained Ministry scholarships: $2,550

By Bishop Peggy A. Johnson
The “Three Simple Rules” offered to us by our Methodist founder John Wesley are:
- Do no harm.
- Do good.
- Attend to the ordinances of God (that is, spiritual disciplines that keep you close to God).
It is no small matter that the first of the three is “Do no harm.” Everything we do has a potential for harm. Something that may seem harmless to us may be seriously harmful to others, depending on their life situations, culture or other circumstances.
Sadly, racism and white supremacy have blinded many European-Americans from seeing the harm they often cause. Such is the case with sports team names and mascots that misappropriate Native American images and cultures, and that too often depict them in derogatory, harmful, stereotypical ways.Read more…

Women in Professional Ministry/COSROW Event |
TextThe Women in Professional Ministry in partnership with our Conference COSROW team will welcome Susan Beaumont on December 8th from 10:00am - 12:00pm via Zoom. We will gather on this Tuesday in Advent with Bishop Peggy Johnson as we traditionally do. This year we've invited Susan Beaumont to join us and share her wisdom around leading through uncertainty.
LEADING IN A LIMINAL SEASON with Susan Beaumont
How do you lead an organization stuck between an ending and a new beginning— when the old way of doing things no longer works but a way forward is not yet clear? Such in-between times are called liminal seasons—threshold times when the continuity of tradition disintegrates and uncertainty about the future fuels doubt and chaos. In a liminal season it simply is not helpful to pretend we understand what needs to happen next. But leaders can still lead.

Since beginning Black Lives Matters protests in Macon, Georgia, Derian Wilson has been called a communist and a terrorist, told that he was too immature to ever have a wife and family, and asked if he supported Abraham Lincoln.
“That one confused me,” the 21-year-old man said with a chuckle about the reference to the nation’s 16th president. “It was very strange.”
Wilson, a member of Martha Bowman United Methodist Church in Macon, protests three or four times a week outside the Chick-fil-A restaurant where he is employed or at the roundabout near Tattnall Square Park. Sometimes his mom or friends are with him; other times he’s alone. His car sports a black flag that states “Black Lives Matter.”
“I want to see more caring for other people,” Wilson said about his reasons for protesting. “I feel like that’s something that as a society we’re lacking. … Just looking out for your neighbor, making sure people are OK.” Learn more...

Conference camps staying busy into November |
Our four Camp & Retreat Centers are keeping busy this season, with two fundraising events that end this weekend and planned November events welcoming families, helpful woodcutters and church youth groups.
Innabah completes its October Amazing Raise fundraising drive on Saturday, hoping to surpass the $23,000 they raised in one day last year. All donations will be matched. Meanwhile, the camp completes its Fall Family Camp weekends in November, with families coming to enjoy a full menu of camp activities on their own Nov, 6-8 and 13-15.
“This year has been hard for everyone, but we are better together,” said camp director Michael Hyde. “We are doing our best here at Innabah to be able to continue with our ministry. We need everyone’s help. Whatever you can give will be appreciated!” Learn more… Also, watch a video for some more details and information by clicking HERE.
Carson Simpson Farm is raising funds from the sale of delicious pies, but the last day is Sunday, Nov. 1. Supporters should order their Solly Brother Farms holiday pies (from a variety of 11 savory flavors!) using the Carson Simpson Farm Thanksgiving Pie Fundraiser form. All pies are $15, and orders can be picked up from Carson Simpson on Tuesday, Nov. 24.
Pocono Plateau will host its annual Annual Woodcutter's Day on Saturday, Nov. 7, 9 AM to 4 PM. Work groups are vital to the care and maintenance of the camp’s property and facilities. Groups can volunteer to spend a day or more doing projects to help keep Pocono Plateau in good working order.
There is plenty of work to be done from general labor (splitting & stacking firewood, raking leaves, trail maintenance) to the trades (electrical, plumbing, carpentry) Any type, age, or size group is welcome! Contact the Pocono Plateau office for more information and to make arrangements.
Meanwhile, camp director Ron Schane continues to recuperate at home from his recent heart surgery.
Gretna Glen will host another, monthly Free Youth Night event on Sunday, Nov. 15, from 2:00 to 4:40 PM. The October Youth Night event drew 46 attendees. The camp is very COVID-19-conscious, continuing its due diligence in making its facilities safe for all guests. Learn more...
“We are excited to continue to offer this event as a resource to our churches and community,” says camp director Apryl Miller. It will feel similar to previous Free Youth Night events, but the youth will gather at an earlier time to enjoy outdoor activities in daylight. So, dress warmly in layers.
Also, Gretna Glen’s “Run the Glen” series of dual 5K trail races will follow on Friday, Nov. 20, at 6 PM and Saturday, Nov. 21, at 8 AM. Learn more...

How to Deal with Church Bullies webinar, Nov. 11 |
Connectional Ministries will offer a requested Zoom webinar titled “How to Recognize and Deal with Church Bullies” on Wednesday, Nov 11, at 6:30 PM. The Rev. David Woolverton (right) will lead the workshop, drawing from his 30 years as a pastor, educator, consultant and now author, with a new book on church conflict in the works.
“In the church, bullies can look spiritual. They also may be serving a very unique function in the life of the congregation,” writes Dr. Woolverton. He will explore how to recognize, assess and respond to church “bullies” and the closed power systems that they represent. “While some of those persons are simply reacting with anxiety to changes implemented by leaders, others may have a more defined plan to sabotage any idea that does not originate with them.” Registration for this event is now open.

All youth invited to special CCYM Racism and Diversity event, Nov. 14 |
The Northeastern Jurisdiction Council on Youth Ministry, at its Nov. 14 meeting, will feature a special program on Racism and Diversity, presented by the Eastern PA Conference Council on Youth Ministry (CCYM) (left). The presentation will be from 1 to 4 PM using video-conferencing on Zoom. All youth from the NEJ’s 10 conferences are invited to participate. Pre-registration is required to receive the Zoom invitation and link.
“We will use a unique approach of presenting scripted vignettes that one of our youth members is preparing,” said the Rev. David Piltz, Conference Coordinator of Young People’s Ministries. The presentation, including interactive discussions, will focus on words and meanings that emerge from Matthew 15:18, which teaches that “what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles us,” said Piltz. “The essential point is that if love is in our heart then nothing bad comes out of the mouth; and racism is not from a place of love but from a place of hate.”
CCYM member Sara Mott, of Covenant UMC in Moore Township, is writing the vignettes. She recently directed, produced and acted in a short dramatic film, “Secondhand Smoke” about domestic violence that was shown at a New York film festival for high school students. The program agenda will also include time for fellowship and worship.

The Eastern PA Conference’s Pennsylvania sales tax exemption certificate used by its member churches was due to expire initially March 31 but was extended to Sept. 30. But now it has been extended further until Dec. 31, due continued delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Order of Elders to learn about using digital media for ministry |
The Eastern PA Conference Order of Elders will hear from an expert on how to use media creatively to reclaim the church’s social influence at a training event on Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 1 PM, via Zoom.
“Obviously our time together in the Order of Elders will be different this year,” says the Rev. Tom Ebersole, the group’s new chairman. Rather than the usual lunch gathering at Innabah Camp & Retreat Center, the 2-hour video-conference will include a talk and Q & A session featuring Phil Cooke, a writer, leading media producer and consultant who critiques American-influenced Christian culture. (Wikipedia)
With a Ph.D in theology, Cooke has “helped some of the largest Christian and nonprofit organizations in the world use the media to tell their story in a changing, disrupted culture.” Ebersole says Cooke’s book The Way Back: How Christians Blew Our Credibility & How We Get it Back “changed how I do ministry. He is dynamic and brings a message we definitely need to hear.”
The first 70 elders who sign up for the Nov. 18 training will receive a copy of Cooke’s new book, Maximize Your Influence: How to Make Digital Media Work for Your Church, Your Ministry and You. This event is free for conference elders. Register now.

Conference offers new booklet of scholarships, ministry funds
Announces new Narberth Legacy Ministry Action Grants
|
But other funding sources also appear in the booklet, including the William “Bill” Drendall Endowment Fund of Mount Gretna UMC, available to all churches; BMCR/BUMP College Scholarships for active members of BMCR-member churches; and scholarships and ministry funding from general agencies of the UMC.
One major funding source featured in the new booklet is the conference’s new Narberth Legacy Ministry Action Grants (2021-2023 Action Grants). The Narberth Legacy Ministry Action Fund is a Permanent Endowment Fund administered by the Mid-Atlantic United Methodist Foundation on behalf of the Eastern PA Conference. It was established from the 2014 discontinuation of Narberth UMC, as a living memorial to past church members, to provide substantial support to new, innovative, justice-seeking ministries that impact the life of communities.
Beginning July 1, 2021 one grant for up to $45,000, distributed over a three-year period, will be awarded annually to a church. Eligible ministries are those that seek to serve populations that may be multicultural, young or intergenerational, unchurched or de-churched, and challenged by racism, discrimination, poverty and other disadvantages. Such ministries should demonstrate viability and a commitment to foster productive cooperation with church and community partners and stakeholders.
Funds will be granted only for endeavors that produce action and offer the potential for real change. Learn more on the conference website’s Funding for Ministry page or contact the Office of Connectional Ministries. Deadline: Jan. 31, 2021. Learn more...
