November 15, 2025 – Recap
Thank you to all who attended our Gather, Listen, Connect gathering on November 15th at Christ Church, Kent Island. It was a blessing to come together in prayer, reflection, and conversation as members of the Diocese of Easton. Your presence and your voices helped shape a meaningful day of fellowship and faithful listening.
A special thank you to Bishop Mary Gray-Reeves and Rebecca Wilson from the Presiding Bishop’s Office for their leadership, insight, and presence with us. We are deeply grateful for the wisdom and support they offered throughout the day.
We are sharing with you the responses from our discussions, the keynote address and opening remarks by the Rt. Rev. Mary Gray-Reeves and the materials presented at the gathering that guided our time together. We hope they serve as a resource for continued reflection, discussion, and connection within your congregations and ministries.
