Introducing…
The Uniting Church and Home
Church Leaders Network

So it came about when Moses held his hands up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hands down, Amalek prevailed.

But Moses’ hands were heavy. Then they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. Thus his hands were steady until the sun set.

So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
EXODUS 17:11-13

Like Moses, are your hands heavy?

Church leaders seeking to unite church and home usually don’t find many Aarons and Hurs to help hold them up, but they are necessary.

Perhaps like other pastors you have wished that there were regular opportunities for church leaders to gather together for mutual encouragement and inspiration?

If this describes you, then I have good news!

I would like to invite you to attend the next gathering of the Uniting Church and Home Virginia Network.

The purpose of the Network is to provide opportunities for church leaders to mutually encourage, inspire, and train each other in the process of uniting church and home.

(If you are a family in a household based or family-integrated church, please feel free to share this invitation with your pastor!)

The encouragement received from this time of mutual sharpening has been a wonderful blessing to all.
