The clarity we desire for you and the District is to be focused on our purpose of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

The next meeting of the Retired Ministers will be Thursday, December 14 at 11:30 am at MCL Cafeteria, 3154 Kingsdale Center, Upper Arlington 43221.
After lunch we will share personal memories (three minutes each) of a meaningful Christmas season experience. Give some thought to a special recollection (humorous or serious) from sometime in your ministry. All who wish to share will have the opportunity. This should be a fascinating, memorable, and fun time together!
All Retired Clergy and Spouses are invited to attend. For more information, contact Bill Tolliver at 614-620-6556
