SUMMARY:Into the Deep: The 5-Ws of Synod Resolutions
DESCRIPTION:Every two years\, General Synod brings together faithful members of the United Church of Christ for inspirational worship\, fellowship with friends (old and new)\, and public witness including through engagement with the business of the church. In July 2025\, we are excited to welcome thousands from across the country for General Synod 35 in Kansas City\, Missouri – and Nurture the Soul is helping to get you there by introducing a 4-part series that goes deep into General Synod and why we hope to see you all there. \nPart 2 – During the 5-Ws of Synod Resolutions\, we’ll hear from representatives that will help us better understand: the role of Resolutions from the perspective of our D.C. offices; what they mean for our local congregations; the Resolution process; and stories from those who’ve written Resolutions and those who’ve acted in the role of Committee Chair. We’ll also be introduced to the Resolutions that will be presented this summer.

SUMMARY:Into the Deep: Womxn 2 Womxn Series Part I
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate workshop and learning community space for womxn as we journey toward Synod together! We’ll grow together and share communal space in an open-meeting format. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to build community and gather. \nRev. Jes Kast and Tehilah Eisentadt will join us to offer wisdom and connection around being a womxn\, loving God and neighbor well. \nThe Rev. Jes Kast is a progressive minister\, constructive theologian\, and gardener. Raised in Michigan\, Jes took her second call to ministry in New York City. After the 2016 election\, she longed to share healing and desired a slower way of life. Those passions\, among many others led her to taking a call as the settled pastor at Faith UCC in State College\, Pennsylvania where she now resides with her wife\, Dr. Jessy\, and together they have two cats and puppy named Charlie. \nTehilah Eisenstadt is an educator\, activist\, rabbinical school student. Her focus is on deepening the emotional resonance of educational experiences\, creating interfaith relationships designed for creating a more empathetic world\, enriching leadership pipelines through staff mentorship in Jewish organizations throughout the US\, raising up silenced voices\, and enabling Jews who felt they didn’t belong to connect with Jewish community. In 2023\, she launched Wonder and Repair\, through which she develops approaches to community-building and care that incorporate best practices in trauma-informed education and ritual. Tehilah is enrolled full-time at Academy for Jewish Religion\, a trans denominational rabbinical school. She is also a full-time member of East End Temple’s leadership in NYC. Prior to this\,Tehilah spent 15 years serving as Director of Education in synagogues\, day schools\, and JCCs across the denominational spectrum throughout New York City’s five boroughs. She has been honored to consult for Clal (national Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership)\, Charlie’s Colorform City (Netflix) and Cordoba House – Muslim Sunday School. Tehilah spent 11 years organizing Bring Back Our Girls NY (which officially joined global BBOG efforts in 2020) and 12 years as a non-denominational Mikva guide with ImmerseNYC for women and non-binary folx.

SUMMARY:Into the Deep - Accessibility\, Safety\, and Welcoming Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Every two years\, General Synod brings together faithful members of the United Church of Christ for inspirational worship\, fellowship with friends (old and new)\, and public witness including through engagement with the business of the church. In July 2025\, we are excited to welcome thousands from across the country for General Synod 35 in Kansas City\, Missouri – and Nurture the Soul is helping to get you there by introducing a 4-part series that goes deep into General Synod and why we hope to see you all there. \nPart 3 – Join us for these Special Offerings\, “Into the Deep” as we explore how we are planning to support the deepening and strengthening of relationships along with connections to one other\, with our ecumenical\, global and interfaith partners\, and with God during General Synod 35. \nDuring this webinar\, we’ll hear from leaders on how we plan an accessible\, safe\, and welcoming Synod. We’ll learn more about how we create brave space through networking and communal opportunities for the LGBTQ+ community and moments of intentional intimate connections for women within the wider church and those seeking ways to be in community through a justice action lens;  how we’ve created several places where children (birth through 12) and youth (rising 6th graders through recent high school graduates) to have their own unique faith formation experiences while also taking in the lessons of the wider church; and\, the ways we’re living into our commitments to be Accessible-to-All (A2A) and WISE (Welcoming\, Inclusive\, Supportive\, and Engaged) for mental health that include a Community Care Space as well as an Access Team available to support access needs.
