DISTRICT CONFERENCE

Mark your calendars for Nov. 4-5 at Peoria Church of the Brethren! The district’s Program & Arrangements Committee is hard at work on plans for the 2022 district conference, with the theme “Outside the Walls: Being Jesus in the Neighborhood.” It is expected to be an in-person event, with some hybrid options available for non-delegates. It will include worship, ice cream, business, fellowship, exhibits, and more. Harold Rose (Canton) serves as moderator this year, with Phyllis Batterton (Woodland) as moderator-elect. A new “District Conference” tab has been added to the district website), and materials will be added there in the coming weeks. The district conference information packet will be sent out soon, along with registration information.

Lanark Church of the Brethren has agreed to be the host for the 2023 district conference, and York Center (Lombard) will tentatively be hosting in 2024.
Reminder: All written reports for the 2022 district conference packet from the various ministry teams and programs related to the district are due to Andrea Garnett at the district office by Aug. 12.
