From Synod of the Sun, PC(USA) ... SunSpots: "Pivot"

Amidst the changes and chances of the COVID-19 pandemic, churches and entities throughout the 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, or caring for the environment. Connections have been made via video feed and blankets. Love is supplied via learning how to read and drive-in diapers.



Pivot

On this week’s episode of SunSpots, we’re going back to January of this year to listen to a Meditation presented by Synod Leader/Stated Clerk Valerie Young at the Called Synod Meeting. At this meeting, the Synod voted to become a partner in the Synod of the Sun Partnership for Disaster Recovery, or SPDR.
 
Valerie talks about how the SPDR and its Director will be a resource for churches and mid-councils to pivot in the midst of and after a natural disaster, enabling them not only to take care of immediate internal needs, but also to powerfully reach out beyond themselves into their communities.
