Annual Meeting, board, churches build relationships

Annual Meeting 2019 will be held on just one day: on Saturday, April 27, at the First Congregational Church in Bellevue.

The day-long session will include business, workshops and approving the budget, said Wendy Blight, moderator of the PNC Board of Directors.

Andrew Conley-Holcom, pastor at Admiral UCC, is working collaboratively with various ministers and lay leaders in the PNC to prepare a heart-centered worship experience on Friday evening before the 2019 Annual Meeting opens.

“We will combine contemplative and charismatic worship practices designed to connect us with our emotions and invite us out of our heads so that we can deeply feel the abiding presence of God,” he said.

 Hilary Coleman, vice moderator, is working with the Annual Meeting Planning Committee.

Wendy reported that the Board of Directors continues to be working on the goal of deepening relationships among people in the conference.

A subcommittee on deepening relationships among clergy held an Epiphany Party for ministers in the Seattle area at Wendy’s home.

Among the congregations she visited in the conference is Bellingham First Congregational UCC, where she said the community has choirs perform during the Christmas season on street corners.  Bellingham UCC’s choir was among those that participated.

She said that was a witness that “our churches are an important part of the fabric of the community.”
