This month we return to the Summit recordings, where you'll hear Rev. Ron Pearce as he leads the Summit’s Friday worship service. He asks the question, who was right in Luke 10: Mary, who sat at Jesus’ feet or Martha, who was busy with preparations for her guests? Was one focus better than the other? What does it have to do with the parable of the Good Samaritan and your service to the church? You can find The Reformed Deacon on your favorite podcast player. Like, share and comment.

In this episode of The Reformed Deacon, you’ll listen in on an information session held for OPC Disaster Response registrants held on Monday, September 19, 2022 regarding the disaster response effort in Neon, Kentucky. As many of you know, catastrophic flooding at the end of July destroyed most of the town of Neon, including Neon Reformed OPC’s building. The local church, presbytery of the Southeast and OPC Disaster Response have been serving there for about eight weeks now and have made a lot of progress in the church building to restore worship in Neon. If the Lord wills, disaster response efforts will extend into the community of Neon.

In this episode of The Reformed Deacon, CDM Administrator, David Nakhla, sits down with Jon Eide, MTW's Ukraine Country Director, to discuss what the reformed church in Ukraine now looks like, what's been done, and plans for the future.

In addition to the interview with Jon, we've added a poignant conversation  with a Ukrainian refugee family, now living in Lithuania, that David Nakhla was privileged to meet during his May trip to Eastern Europe. Listen carefully as the family describes the dangerous situations while they made an escape from their home in Ukraine after Russia's attack.

This makes for a long episode, but well-worth the time.
