2 CORINTHIANS 3:17-18
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
We celebrated the 27th Biennial Session on Saturday, August 6, 2022. It started with a Worship Service, followed by the Business Session where new officers and members-at-large were elected, and concluded with an educational workshop on Spiritual Formation & Fatigue, Caring for Self & Others When Tired.
