‘Love One Another’ Signs Emerge

March 31, 2021 by Talbot Association of Clergy and Laity (TACL)

Some ideas require nurturing.

Robin Lake

Over a decade ago Talbot County resident Robin Lake created a graphic inspired by 1 John 4:7, “Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God.” The graphic includes the message ‘Love One Another’ and an image of hands surrounded by a heart.

For Ms. Lake the work paused there. While life events took over, and her plans to share this graphic went on hold, her desire to share this message never left her.

Ms. Lake, who works for the Neighborhood Services Center as an intake worker, recently restarted the project. She shares, “It is so clear to me that I am called to spread this message across the community now. We have so much division in our world. Too much division. I feel this message is so needed.”

Unsure how to get started on next steps, she asked Talbot County Councilmember Corey Pack for ideas and he suggested she reach out to Rev. Sue Browning, Chair of the Talbot Association of Clergy and Laity (‘TACL’). TACL was happy to assist. Rev. Browning shares, “Ms. Lake had such a beautiful concept and message. I invited TACL member Wendy Roth of First Church of Christ, Scientist in Easton to help and we worked with Ms. Lake on sign production and getting the word out. It’s been an honor to be a part of sharing this message.”

The first dozen signs were produced and distributed in February. An early request for signs came from Rev. Nancy Dennis, pastor of St. Stephens AME Church in Unionville. Rev. Dennis notes, “This work is divinely inspired, and the message is critically needed now. It is by loving one another we can overcome strife, much sickness and disease. Bless you Ms. Lake, for sharing your gifts to convey this powerful message of hope and healing.”

More signs are now available. Ms. Lake also has had bumper stickers printed and is offering the graphic for use on websites, or in windows, or on posters.

To obtain a sign or to learn more about Robin Lake and her hoped-for outcome for this project, you may contact her at [email protected]. Ms. Lake welcomes your suggestions for other ways to “spread the Word.”

Talbot Association of Clergy Annual Community Interfaith Thanksgiving Service

November 20, 2019 by Talbot Association of Clergy and Laity (TACL)

The Talbot Association of Clergy and Laity (TACL) will hold its annual Community Interfaith Thanksgiving Service this Sunday, November 24, at 4 p.m. at Temple B’nai Israel, 7199 Tristan Drive. The service is long-standing tradition in the county, providing an opportunity for the community to come together in the spirit of gratitude and unity. All are welcome to be a part of this family-friendly service.

The service this year will include a variety of music and story, and a message on “The Hope of Thanksgiving” offered by Pastor Walt Wiltschek.

Walt Wiltschek serves as pastor of Easton Church of the Brethren and as an academic advisor at Chesapeake College. He also does frequent writing and editing and serves as chair of the board for Camp Mardela in Denton. Walt was born in Germany and grew up in Pennsylvania and moved back to the East Coast in 2017 after a decade and a half in the Midwest. He is a graduate of York College of Pennsylvania, Lancaster Theological Seminary, and Northern Illinois University.

Our collection at the service will be donated to the Neighborhood Services Center, which provides services and assistance to low-income families and elderly residents in Talbot County Maryland, and to the Chesapeake Multicultural Resource Center which serves children, youth and adults guided by its mission “to empower people from different cultures to become successful and engaged members of our community.”

Light refreshments will follow.

January 11, 2018 by Talbot Association of Clergy and Laity (TACL)

All are invited to attend the Talbot Association of Clergy and Laity (TACL) winter meeting on Wednesday, January 17th from 12:00 – 1:30 at St. Marks United Methodist Church, 100 Peachblossom Rd., Easton.

TACL will provide lunch and activities designed to encourage networking and fellowship among clergy and lay faith leaders as we engage in this year’s theme of “Making Connections”.

Julie has been engaged with TIS since its inception.  On the work to address homelessness through a coalition of community groups, Julie notes, “It’s a beautiful thing to witness collaboration between people with different religious beliefs (and those who do not subscribe to organized religion at all) reaching out to help our neighbors who are in a very fragile, stressful point in their lives, grappling for basic needs for themselves and their families . . . and to realize these folks are no different than ourselves.”

Julie grew up near Westminster, Maryland and holds a degree from Old Dominion University.
