First Episcopal District 2026 Fall Gathering

What a blessed and memorable time at the First Episcopal District 2026 Fall Gathering, held in the West District of the Arkansas Region!

We were honored to fellowship with Presiding Elder and First Lady White, along with Host Pastor and First Gentleman Whitmore and the wonderful congregation of Cothran Chapel CME Church.

I was especially honored to present a plaque to Sister Cathy Shaw in recognition and appreciation of her many years of dedicated service to the Arkansas Region Board of Christian Education and Formation.

Sister Shaw, thank you for your commitment, faithfulness, leadership, and willingness to serve. Your contributions have made a lasting impact on Christian education and formation throughout the Arkansas Region.

We celebrate you, Sister Cathy Shaw, and thank God for your years of faithful service! 🙏🏾❤️

To God be the glory for the great things He continues to do in the Arkansas Region!

What a wonderful time of fellowship, learning, and growing together in Christ! May the light of Jesus continue to shine brightly through our churches, our families, and our children.

Keep shining and letting your light shine! 💡✨
