Annual Hayride

We enjoyed a beautiful Sunday afternoon on a hayride to Todd Lake. The weather and the scenery were spectacular.

"For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." Isaiah 55:12

2017 UB National Conference

 From the "Connect" newsletter:

2017 US National Conference

Next summer, we celebrate 250 years as a denomination. That'll make the US National Conference a little extra special. We're meeting in Lancaster, Pa., where it all began. Here are the details:
Date: July 12-15, 2017. Location: Lancaster County Convention Center, Lancaster, Pa.
This is a family-oriented conference, open to anyone. Past conventions have drawn 900+ attendees. It would be great to break 1000 for this historic edition.
The business session, which will include electing a bishop, will be held on Thursday, July 13. Each church can send at least two delegates--the senior pastor and at least one layperson, based on church size. This fall, as you prepare your church budget for 2017, be sure to include travel, hotel, and conference registration.
Registration costs will be $60 for individuals and $100 for families. The conference hotel is the Marriott at Penn Square, which is attached to the Lancaster Convention Center. Conference registration will go live in early 2017.

Updated information will be posted here.
