Pacific Western Regional Assembly: Love Right Through – Sat, Feb 13, 12-5 PM Pacific

This has been a difficult year and we have done many things to Love Right Through all the challenges. Join us for an afternoon of celebrating our accomplishments and challenges with sharing from spotlighted congregations. Participate in workshops exploring how the pandemic has changed the way we engage with church work, with each other, and with our communities–and how we can move forward. Hear what is happening for good in the world, and opportunities yet to come.

Regional Assembly will run mid-day Saturday, opening with a lively celebration, welcoming, and congregational spotlights before a break heading into workshops or identity-based discussion groups, and back for closing worship and sendoff.
