Welcome to District Conference!

I am delighted we are able to have District Conference in Sacramento this year. We owe a big thank you to the Prince of Peace leadership and congregation for stepping up to the task. The Conference will be available online because some people cannot attend in person due to health, transportation or scheduling issues. I hope you will choose to come and share in the fellowship and group dynamic that happens more deeply when we are in person rather than online.

Our giving emphasis this year is the South Sacramento Interfaith Partnership Food Closet which the Prince of Peace congregation helps support. An offering will be taken during Saturday worship to help support this important work.
The SERRV shop will again be at District Conference so come prepared to shop.

We will also enjoy the presence of our 2025 Annual Conference Moderator, Dava Hensley. Since we are not having breakout workshops this year, the best way to hear more from Dava is to stay over for the Sunday worship at Prince of Peace Church. Dava will be preaching at that service and we would love to have you share that time with her.

How can the church, as God’s Kingdom on earth, help people to find good soil? How can we, each congregation, provide good soil? These questions will be the focus of Friday night worship, Saturday worship and in discussion with all of us together. Saturday’s worship and discussion time will be led by Jennifer and Nathan Hosler, co-pastors of the Washington DC Church of the Brethren. Both of them are also on the denominational staff.

Come! Enjoy the fellowship of your brothers and sisters in Christ from around the district. Come also to learn ways to better serve others and to share the hope of Christ to the lost.
