Mission Partnerships The fourth "Congregations in Mission" gathering will be held May 10, 2012. In previous events more than 50 people from a dozen or so Lehigh Valley congregations have gathered for conversation about ways that we can work together more closely. Many of our congregations have mission (outreach/social concerns/peace & justice) committees with similar focus or goals. This gathering is an opportunity to find out what other congregations are doing in the way of missions and outreach, and to begin forming partnerships to work for common goals. Six topics of common interest were identified last year, and a small group formed around each topic during the meeting. Some of these groups had good conversation for the evening, and others made plans to form an on-going working group. (See the 2010 Mission Groups and 2011 Mission Groups pages for more details).
