It feels like forever since we’ve met together, doesn’t it? While being able to meet online for Annual Conference for the past two years has helped us to care for the business of the annual conference while keeping each other safe, it just wasn’t the same as meeting in-person.
With the 2022 Susquehanna Annual Conference only a few weeks away, we will soon see each other face to face. It will be good to catch up with old friends, swap stories of the ways we’ve been navigating through this season, and share best practices for sharing Jesus with our communities. Additionally, we will be able to worship together, pray with and for each other, and prayerfully care for the business of our annual conference.
As we prepare to gather this year at Hershey, I encourage us to hold our Annual Conference event in prayer. Specifically, let’s pray for our bishops and their leadership; for the work of the annual conference; for one another and our churches; for those who will be caring for us at Hershey Lodge; and for the movement of the Holy Spirit so that we will be a people transformed because of our time together.
I look forward to being together and seeing what God is doing in our midst!
