Deacons Talking
about Rock Point's Pollinator Project with
Jackie Arbuckle and Lucy Pellegrini
This is an online event. You will receive log-in information once you register.
There is no cost for the event.
After two years of intensive soil preparation, Rock Point’s 2.5 acre project is ready for its initial planting. With major funding from the Episcopal Church, USA’s Care for Creation Initiative and the Davis Conservation Foundation, the Episcopal church in Vermont is converting an overgrown and unused space under 35 solar trackers into a pollinator meadow and demonstration garden.
Join us as Jackie Arbuckle and Lucy Pellegrini tell us about how this project will be a model and educational center for anyone concerned about pollinator decline. They will share insights on what you can do to replicate the concept in your context – no matter the size of your property. They will also help us understand the significance for saving our planet. (You can gain more information about the project here.)
This will be the last program for 2018-2019 and it will be hosted by Julie Lytle, the Executive Director of Province I. Join us next month, June 6-9, at the AED Triennial gathering in Providence RI (https://www.episcopaldeacons.org/2019-triennial.html)
The Province I website contains a special section devoted to diaconal ministry that includes links to previous Deacons Talking web conferences. If you miss our live conversations, you can find recordings of them here. (NOTE: Newer programs will be posted asap. Thank you for your patience.)

Deacons Talking on the Road to Emmaus is a web based way for deacons to walk with each other and share stories in hope of inspiring, supporting and renewing diaconal ministries. It is inspired by the story of Cleopas and another disciple who, after recounting all that they had experienced while walking on the road to Emmaus with a stranger, recognized Jesus in their midst (Luke 24:13-32). Jesus' presence led them to release their fear and grief, return to Jerusalem to share their experience of the resurrected Christ with the gathered community, and renew their ministry with confidence.
Sponsored by the New England Deacons Network and the Episcopal Province of New England (Province I), these free, live, interactive web conferences will occur monthly on the third Thursday, 7:00 -8:15 pm and feature deacons sharing stories from their ministries, exploring case studies, offering peer wisdom and feedback, and exchanging mutual support.
