The Synod of the Sun found ways to not only survive but also find unique and beautiful ways to minister to God's people in need. Mission and ministry takes form in supplying basic necessities to caring for the environment. Connections have been made via video feed and blankets. Love is supplied via learning how to read to dArive-in diapers.
Several Perfect Storms
On this episode, we talk with Nanette Cagney, Commissioned Lay Pastor at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church in Lake Charles, LA. In the past 12 months, Lake Charles has endured three hurricanes (two direct hits), COVID, and then a paralyzing ice storm. Through it all, St. Andrew Church has been a community leader, forming partnerships to help the city's most vulnerable, while operating wherever they can and also repairing uninhabitable homes and buildings. Nanette also talks about the future of the Commissioned Pastors Network of the Synod and future plans of previously cancelled events.
