~ Join us! ~ Pathways to Peace and Justice Dear ANE West Congregation, The Peace and Justice Committee of the Atlantic Northeast District (ANE) warmly invites you to Pathways to Peace and Justice—a gathering where Church of the Brethren congregations can share ideas and learn from one another's work for peace and justice in the way of Jesus. All are welcome to attend! This first of two regional gatherings for ANE congregations is open to churches in the Western Section of the district. A second gathering for ANE East will be held at a later date. Event Details:
Date: Saturday, October 24, 2026 Time: 11am–2pm * Lunch will be provided Location: Lancaster Church of the Brethren 1601 Sunset Avenue Lancaster, PA 17601 * Ample parking available in church parking lot
We encourage participants to come ready to share how their congregation cultivates peace and justice! Some possible areas of involvement include:

- Immigrant and refugee support
- Ministries with people with disabilities
- Support for conscientious objection to war
- Creation care
- Prison ministry
- And so much more!
We invite you to bring a description of how your congregation is involved in peace and justice work, such as a visual display (bring a USB flash drive to share slides) or handouts, or simply be prepared to share verbally. If you're not sure how your congregation could be involved, bring your questions and leave with new ideas! Please RSVP by October 3 with the number of people attending from your congregation.

We hope you'll join us as we explore pathways to peace and justice together, strengthen relationships across our congregations, and encourage one another in this important work.
