Synod in the City
Hi all -
Saturday was the Synod in the City day - and we were very much all over the city. We gathered in the morning for the opening worship and keynote by Bill Moyers, then spread out across the city to an impossible choice of options that tore you in different directions wanting to see it all.
Then the group all regathered in the afternoon for the address by Sen. Obama, and then out again, before the final gathering together in the Civic center for the grand birthday party in the evening. All in all, a big celebration and an exciting time!
It's hard to even begin to describe it all - do check out ucc.org/news for all the latest stories from UCNews about the events, and http://www.ucc.org/synod/photo-gallery.html for the photos. It was a wonderful, full, exhausting day - and so much more is yet to come. I know that Obama's speech is online, but I very much hope that Moyer's will be - so much to discuss in there for us as the UCC today.
The San Bernardino crew that is here will gather to sit together today, Sunday, for the grand worship in the afternoon - not long after you've gathered back home. Peace and blessings to you all today! -Rev.Petra
