May 15\, 9 AM – 1 PM via Zoom\n\nPastoral Leader training is designed for lay ministers who are called to assist their clergy person in providing pastoral and spiritual leadership in their congregation. The ministry of the Pastoral Leader\, at the direction of clergy\, is to help assess the concerns and needs of parishioners and identify ways to help and support them. This may include traditional pastoral care (such as hospital visits\, home visits\, etc.) as well as helping parishioners connect with and participate in ministries of the parish. In congregations without clergy\, Pastoral Leaders serve under the supervision of the Wardens and Vestry. \nPastoral Leader training includes Worship Leader training and Preacher training so that they can step into those roles. It is also expected that they will be able to serve as Eucharistic Visitors\, which is trained at the parish level currently. \nIn addition to this training\, licensing as a Pastoral Leader requires submitting an application and verifying that they are Confirmed Communicants in Good Standing (Confirmed members who attend worship and give regularly) of a congregation in the Diocese of Newark. Pastoral Leaders must complete the Safe Church\, Safe Communities Training\, which can be completed online. A background check\, at the expense of the Bishop’s Office\, will also be required to be licensed for this ministry. \nDeadline:\nMonday\, May 4\, 2026\, 5 PM \nWardens or Clergy: Please use this form to register participants for Worship Leader training. \nSorry. This form is no longer available.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Away: Faith in the Mundane
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Wednesdays Away\, a time of spiritual renewal hosted by Cross Roads throughout the year. Our time together includes prayer and conversation\, led by a spiritual director and focusing on a different spiritual practice or theme each month. These retreats are open to all people interested in exploring new faith practices. Attend one or attend all—and be sure to invite friends to join you. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFAITHFUL IN THE MUNDANE\nLed by Josh Kelly\nMuch of our daily life is composed of fairly mundane routines. Little things we have done hundreds\, if not thousands\, of times. Often\, we want to find an experience with the divine in the mountaintop encounters\, but how might we recenter ourselves and train our spirits to see and experience the divine in all those routine little moments and actions.
