Safe Kids
On Saturday, November 2, at 10 a.m., the New England Synod will offer training on child safety. It will be offered at Trinity in Worcester, and online. This training will cover all of the child safety recommendations required by most church insurance companies, but more importantly, it is part of our ongoing efforts to ensure that all children in our synod are safe in their churches, church schools, and other church-related activities. 
The training will be offered by Dr. Bill Barter (right), a licensed psychologist specializing in child abuse. Bill is also an ELCA pastor who understands the special needs of congregations. Medical and mental health professionals will receive 2 hours of continuing education hours for attending.

Guilderland is a predominantly
middle-class community nestled
into the Capital Region of New York
state. Guilderland is just minutes
away from Albany and offers a mix
of country and city, the best of
both worlds.
  
Your group will be near a popular  
upstate New York theme park,
Six Flags Great Escape. Locals
enjoy a trip to Saratoga, or the  
many parks the town has to offer.
  
Hidden away in this good-looking
town are pockets of lower-income
areas that are often overlooked.
  
The elderly struggle to keep up
their homes that they have
lived in for a generation. And in
recent years, Guilderland was
one of the towns ravaged by flooding.
