55th ANNUAL DISTRICT CONFERENCE
OCTOBER 11-12, 2024
Being involved in the work of the District these past two years has been both a challenge and a joy for me. At the beginning of this journey, I was not sure I was up to the task. However, I was warmly welcomed by some of the most committed servantleaders I have ever had the privilege of meeting. I have felt encouraged and supported every step of the way.
When I reflect on the District Conference events, I will always remember the weekend opening on Friday with worship. What a pleasure it was to join my brothers and sisters at the Mountville Church in praising God through song and powerful and thought-provoking teaching. From my vantage point right next to the podium, the thing I will remember most about the District Conference Saturday business meeting will be the joy and passion displayed so clearly on the faces of those who came to the podium to speak: District staff, Commission chairs, and representatives of the various District and Denominational entities. I also could look out over the sea of delegates, who engaged so earnestly and enthusiastically in the table discussions (often ignoring the yellow and red lights!) and times of worship. I was struck with how many people were there because of their love for Jesus and their commitment to the Church of the Brethren and their neighbors’ good. I felt humbled to be a part of such an inspiring gathering of Christ-followers.
It has been my honor and privilege to join so many dedicated sisters and brothers in the work of the ANE District. I have learned that wherever God leads, however unexpected or daunting it may seem, He will provide a way. Thank you for allowing me to serve.
