Friends from Nicaragua at Annual Conference!

Pastor Gwyneth enjoyed seeing several friends she met in Nicaragua up at Annual Conference this year! Jairo attended from the Mobile Health Clinic. And this was Alicia's first trip outside Nicaragua - she is the lovely women who gave Pastor Gwyneth the beautiful dress ... which she wore at her ordination. What an honor it was to have Alicia there at the ordination!

In addition, it was a pleasure to again meet the President of the Iglesia de Cristo denomination as well as the newly elected President of the Evangelical Methodise denomination. All of these folks shared a bit in front of the Annual Conference, and were also present for a Nicaraguan Covenant dinner and a lunch seminar on the Nicaraguan Planning Committee.

Annual Conference is always a kind of "coming home" time for clergy and laity alike, as this is the one time of year when we all get together for lots of fellowship, prayer, worship and "holy conferencing." Laity and pastors enjoy seeing one another who have previously served together in another church. Pastors enjoy seeing those who have "itinerated" to areas of the conference out of commuting distance. However, this was also a special honor for Pastor Gwyneth to reunite with friends from Nicaragua.
