Thanks for a joyful time in Kearney! Our conference office is closed today as our staff takes a well‑deserved rest after annual conference. We appreciate your patience and will respond when we return tomorrow.

How do you feel about the idea that baptism is the starting place to grow as a disciple? What does growing as a disciple mean to you at this point in your life?

The concept of Three-in-One and One-in-Three is challenging: three persons, one God; one nature, three distinctions. How do you understand that unifying nature? What character, personality, or attribute of God is visible in all three persons of the Trinity?

Discuss in the comments.

We're praying today for conference staff members Jennifer McAferty (human resources/benefits manager), Pam Lake (accounting coordinator), Kathy Williams (clergy excellence director) and Julie Krueger Kohr (clergy excellence administrative assistant).

Bishop David Wilson was among those who donned hardhats and grabbed shovels for the groundbreaking at Urban Abbey's new home in Omaha. The ceremony was followed with ice cream!

Triune God, we pause in awareness that there is much about your nature as Three-in-One that feels complicated, confusing, or mysterious. But even in the mystery, we can see unity of purpose that is rooted in Love and invites us into partnership. Open our hearts and minds and equip our hands as we become co-creators with you and grow as your disciples. We pray this in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

We pray today for these members of our administrative services team: Caleb Selim and Christian Book (financial accountants), Darci Renyer Koci (controller) and Emma Taylor Carreno (project-data manager, statistician).

We closed out our 2026 annual conference session with a powerful ordination service that featured a message by Bishop Carlo Rapanut. Here are some photos from today's festivities.

Joy is filling the halls. The ordination service is moments away, and the Spirit is moving.

During the processional of this morning's ordination service, keep an eye out for Jeff Goetzinger 's stole. It features 40 handprints and a few footprints of children at Scott City UMC, where he is leaving next month for Alma-Republican City in Nebraska. The stole was engineered and sewn by his wife, Beth.
