Clergy Convocation 2026 (For Those Who Thirst):

Once again, all authorized clergy in the Conference are invited to gather together at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center for Convocation!
Our primary focus will be on building relationships with each other. Ministry can sometimes be a lonely calling, and Convocation gives us a chance to learn and grow together! Our leaders will be Lenora & Gary Rand. They bring years of experience in leading worship and teaching about worship in churches and lead conferences all across the country. They will create Spirit-led worship experiences with us at Convocation that will renew and restore your soul!

🛠️ As we approach & celebrate Labor Day, we honor the generations whose work has built and sustained our communities. The right to meaningful work, fair wages, and true rest has always been central to both our faith and our shared humanity. Today, as artificial intelligence transforms the world of work, we are called to remember that rest is sacred—and that the dignity of labor is rooted in God’s own example of creation and Sabbath.

👉🏾 Read the Witness for Justice piece, "In Defense of the Rights to Work, to a Living Wage, and to Rest" by Dr. Sarosh Koshy, Global Relations Minister for Southern Asia, Global Ministries (Disciples of Christ and United Church of Christ): https://www.ucc.org/in-defense-of-the-rights-to-work-to-a-living-wage-and-to-rest/

🇳🇵 Pray for Nepal
Devastating floods in Nepal have claimed hundreds of lives, left many missing, and displaced families across affected communities. Global Ministries is in communication with our partner in Nepal and preparing to respond to urgent needs as aid can safely reach those affected.

Our partner shared, “At this critical moment, we would greatly appreciate your prayers for Nepal.”

Please join us in praying for those who have lost loved ones, those still missing, displaced families, rescue workers, and our partners working to bring help and hope.
