The twenty-fifth General Synod of the United Church of Christ is meeting in Atlanta July 1-5th. My colleague and I take off on Thursday morning -- on the NEW JET that flies in and out of the Falls once a day from June through August! I've been told we'll love it - especially compared to the prop planes we usually get.
This year I am a delegate again -- for the Minnesota Conference. It's more fun to be a visitor because you can do what you want when you want, but being a delegate is exciting too because then you're in the thick of it. There are "hot" issues being put forth in resolutions, and important issues, as well as regular business. But the best part is catching up with old friends, meeting people I've only known before on Ecunet, networking, and just "catching up" on all that's going on in the UCC.
There's lots to do to get ready -- too much, really, but that's always how it is before going away for a week. Somehow it'll get done and we'll be ready to... "Come Listen, Go Serve, God is Still Speaking."
