Northeast Regional Pastors and Spouses Gather for an Afternoon of Fellowship

The Northeast Regional Leadership Team hosted a Pastor and Spouses Appreciation Luncheon on December 6, 2025, at Hoss’s Restaurant in Duncansville, Pennsylvania ~ and it turned out to be exactly what everyone needed.

Seventeen people gathered for an afternoon of good food and even better company. After enjoying appetizers and introductions, the group dove into a spirited “Right-Left” gift exchange game that had everyone laughing and trading packages around the tables. Then came the main meal, where conversations and Holy Spirit-led connections flowed freely around the room.

But here’s what really made the luncheon special: the fellowship. Some folks were meeting face-to-face for the first time, while others were picking up conversations from months – or years – past. Around the tables, pastors and spouses swapped stories about their families, shared what’s happening in their churches, and caught up on life beyond Sunday mornings.

Before the event wrapped up, the NE-RLT presented each family with a gift card as a token of appreciation for their ministry.

The consensus as people headed home? Let’s do this again in 2026!
