Who Can We Be Together?
Mission u 2022 -- What's New?
What’s New?

This year, for the first time, Mission u 2022 is going to focus each of its study tracks on the same Scripture passage
(Luke 13), to foster intergenerational learning.  The changes to the Mission u format allows attendees to examine scripture and theology within a social justice frame and with the global ministry of the church in mind.  Under the new lesson format, the Mission u curricula is now also adaptable to be used by local churches.

Instead of relying on a single author for each subsequent year’s study, 2022 and future studies are being developed by a lead author who works with a team of diverse contributors.  Each study team met together for biblical and theological reflection and the studies and related materials are focus group tested in various church settings before being adapted based on the feedback received from those sessions.

Why Luke 13?

Luke 13 covers several different themes including the Parable of the Fig Tree, Jesus’ Healing a Woman on the Sabbath, the Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast, the Narrow Door, and Jesus’ Sorrow for Jerusalem.  So, what makes this passage so important for 2022?

We find ourselves in a period of incredible disruption and uncertainty.  In the midst of a devastating pandemic, a divisive political climate, and economic turmoil, we are turning to stories of Jesus that have anchored Christian communities in challenging times for over two millennia. Some of these stories of Jesus are found in the 13th chapter of the gospel of Luke. The chapter opens and closes with a community trying to make sense of and navigate their way through times of turmoil and tragedy.

In Luke 13, we find Jesus on the sabbath and a woman in need of healing. Jesus makes the choice to “set [her] free from [her] ailment” (Luke 13:12) which causes a great deal of commotion among the leaders and crowd gathered there. It’s in this story that Jesus likens the kingdom to a mustard seed and yeast. Our new curriculum will explore what those images evoked for Jesus’ first-century Jewish audience as well as what possibilities that same seed and yeast might hold for us in a time of incredible disruption and uncertainty.
Who's our Adult Study Leader?
Jay Godfrey is the Transformative Education and Training Specialist for United Women of Faith.  In this role, he provides leadership in the development and production of Mission u curricula and training events.

Jay began attending Mission u as a teen with his church in York, Pennsylvania and is excited to be returning to his home Conference for Mission u 2022.

Jay’s foundational experiences led to a life of service in the church including spending five years as a young-adult missionary with the Board of Global Ministries in Alabama, Bosnia and Herzegovina and New York City.  

Since joining staff of UWF, he has served as a study leader trainer with Mission u for more than ten years and written 4 youth studies. Jay holds a Master of Divinity with a concentration in Church and Community Ministries from the Candler School of Theology, Emory University.

Who's our Children's Study Leader?
Children who have completed K-6th Grade are invited to join in Mission u. They must have a responsible adult (relative or friend)
also attending the adult school or participating in the children’s school.

The children will be learning from Luke 13 just as the youth and adults. Our instructor is Pastor Bill Klebe. He is now serving in the Berwick churches.  He has been involved in the children’s school for several years as coordinator.

Sue Reisinger is this year’s coordinator and Judy Grove is the assistant. Both have been involved in the children’s school in past years.

We plan to spend much of Friday at Central Oak Heights that will include activities, games and swimming while learning. This will be followed by a movie, dinner and a final wind down class ending at 8 p.m.

Children can commute or stay at the hotel with an adult that is registered at the Best Western.

Saturday, we will conclude our learning with activities.  We plan to do some hiking weather permitting.
