NEPA LUTHERAN MISSION PARTNERSHIP

February 2011 Bulletin

NEXT STEP MARCH 5:Moscow Mission Meeting

On Saturday, Feb. 5th, at Jonathan's Restaurant in Moscow, PA, a meeting of minds and hearts from five NEPA congregations took place. Three different mission opportunities were considered, with the goal of narrowing that list down to one for further action. After extensive discussion it was plain that the Holy Spirit was leading us to establish a mission outreach to the Moscow area.

There are many things that contributed to this conclusion.

1. The area is stable, growing slowly but steadily.2. There is no Lutheran Church ministry in the immediate area.3. There are a number of members of Scranton churches who live in the Moscow area - some of whom might desire to be a part of an exciting mission in their community. This would provide a "core group".

We are asking that all Lutherans who are residents of the Moscow/Lake Ariel area, all congregational leaders of NEPA churches, and anyone interested in the development of this mission PLEASE ATTEND A:
