Ecumenical Outreach
We have had a long- term ecumenical connect in Town through membership in the Reading Clergy Association. We meet on the first Thursday of each month from September to June. We meet on a rotation basis in each church for a bag-lunch, prayer and discussion. As members over the years we have been able to foster friendships as we pray together, share ideas, discuss town issues and our reaction to them.
Over the years we have mounted many and varied programs and religious services and have promoted and adopted several causes that benefit the Town and its citizens. We have recently inaugurated a Celebration on Dr. Martin Luther King, JR’s holiday, have honored an annual Pulpit Exchange in January for many years, and celebrated a Baccalaureate Prayer Service for High School Seniors for several years. We have also supported the Reading Food Pantry.
The heart of the Reading Clergy Association is the long-term friendships that have been enjoyed among the members. Presently several new members have joined and it will be our task to included them warmly in our Association.
