Just finished General Synod, a nationwide meeting for our denomination.
To think--I've spent most of my life trying to avoid synods. This was my first one, and I loved it. Instead of tiresome bureaucracy I found a gathering of servants. We talked, we prayed, we worshiped. We tried to discern "What next, Lord?" It was good, solid, intense, hopeful.
After that we have our denominational missions conference. It's not my year to go, but folks like my talk on how to make videos enough that I get to come back. Nice to meet our missionaries face-to-face.
I've attached files of my presentation below.
