Bishop deForest shares a pastoral message with the NEPA Synod during this season of transition, offering gratitude for the faithful ministry happening across the synod, encouragement to pray for Bishop-Elect Jennifer Dee, and a reminder that God’s transforming work is already taking place among us.

In his Ash Wednesday pastoral letter, Bishop deForest acknowledges the weight of living in a complicated and often exhausting world. Yet, as we enter Lent, he calls us back to something both challenging and beautifully simple: our baptismal promises.
