Dear Colleague,

 

We hope that you have had a wonderful summer - filled with many things that make your heart sing!

 

While we love the summer, we are also looking forward to the fall:

  • 8-10 clergy will be trained as facilitators in the coming weeks
  • we are working with current facilitators to include new members to their groups
  • we are launching some new CCOPs
  • and we are launching three new New Clergy Groups!

For those clergy new to the Massachusetts Conference (or one of our partner conferences) and/or new to ordained ministry - we say welcome! Don't hesitate to be in touch by email or phone.

 

May you enter the fall season with a recharged spirit.

 

Peace, Sue & Kris
