It's a wrap! Our 2026 Annual Meeting was a time of deep reflection, conversation, and celebration. We are grateful for the people of this Conference who continue to show up, seek justice, and love one another. We were especially grateful to celebrate Rev. Sara Morse for her service as moderator over the past few years and to welcome Rev. Dr. Bonnie Bates as our new Interim Conference Minister.
