ANE Clergy Women Luncheon

A number of our ANE clergy women enjoyed a luncheon gathering in the Chives restauarant at Brethren Village in November. Megan Lester led a lively discussion focused on how pastoral ministry looks in our “post-COVID” world.  All who were present enjoyed the great food and the interesting discussion. This was a wonderful opportunity for fellowship and encouragement among these women who are serving in a variety of pastoral roles in our ANE District. Plans are being made for another luncheon gathering in early 2023.
