It is hard to believe that it is almost July and some of you have already had your annual conferences this year. Tell us what happened? Who preached, good news that happened in your conference and of course you have to tell me about the good food!!!! Also if you have attended other denominational conferences please share what happend. I also would like to hear from our family in South Africa, Namibia, Bermuda and all around the world.

Dear Rev.Denise Our Annual Conference was back in February (28th -March 3rd). We are always early in the year. We have just had our planning meeting for the year two weeks ago. Hoping others will pick up the ball on the great preachers of the Bermuda Annual Conference as I was working. Annual Conference was at my Church.

God Bless You

Brother Nalton our church prays for you and the Bermuda conference and often during the service I will lift up churches in our denomination for prayer and to also help our congregation understand we are a connectional. Well two weeks ago my daughter and our head trustee raised their hands to say they would like to visit some of the churches in Bermuda to personally let you and our Bermuda family know we care about you. They both offered to go in January. Everyone in the congregation laughed and laughed. Brother Nalton it is usually 25 below zero in Montana in January. So we knew one of the reason's why they wanted to visit;-) So do not be surprised if my daughter comes to visit. Do let us know what was decided at the planning meeting.

What a wonderful Praise story! Renee do not give up, God will make a way. Do check with your school for financial aid. It took me 9 years straight to get my B.A and M.Div degree to become a minister and that included summers and working. I was a single mom. It can be done. Congratulations on 8 years of being clean and sober. You are a wonderful role model of what can be done. I hope you will continue to post on the board. We need your spirit. God bless and hug your babies for me.
