What an incredible weekend at our 231st Annual Meeting! From the powerful keynote by Rev. Shari Prestemon to our collaborative work gathering CWS Kits, we truly learned what it means to "Be the Church in the Chaos". Whether you joined us in St. Johnsbury or connected via Zoom, your voice and spirit made this gathering transformative. We shared in creative worship, engaged in vital workshops and good discussions, and reminded one another that "no local church is an island". Bring the Spirit Home! Loved the "Be the Church" visuals from the weekend? You can now order your own congregational resources to display at your local church.

Together, we are the web of loving relationships that keeps us going!
