Some of the discussion at this year’s Annual Meeting will be on work we can do to strengthen congregational development. Nearly every congregation is a completely new community after the Pandemic. By now, we know who has come back and who has not. Natural transitions and new members post-pandemic have also re-shaped us and everybody else over the last five years. As God continues to make all things new, our work is to connect more faithfully and fully with how God is making us new.
