How is your congregation walking the walk when it comes to working for peace and justice in the way of Jesus?

The Atlantic Northeast District Peace & Justice Committee invites congregations in ANE West to gather for Pathways to Peace and Justice on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 11am–2pm at Lancaster Church of the Brethren.

This will be a time to connect, learn, and share how our churches cultivate peace and justice. Whether your congregation is involved with food banks, creation care, refugee support, prison ministry, neighborhood outreach, or something entirely different, we'd love to hear your insights. Another gathering for ANE East will be held at a later date.

✨ Lunch is provided, and all are welcome!

Please RSVP by October 3 with the number attending from your congregation.
