EKHN-UCCNY Pastors' Retreat - October 2009

Clergy from throughout the New York Conference gathered with pastors from the EKHN (The Protestant Church in Hesse and Nassau ) at Silver Bay in October 2009.

A six-minute video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOPr0g-Atb8 gives you a flavor of their time together. You'll recognize our own Ruby Wilson leading a choir, as well as other participants from the Suffolk and Metro Associations. Enjoy!

New York Conference Annual Meeting
Silver Bay at Lake George, June 4 – 6, 2010

We gathered to praise God; to plan our life together as local churches, associations and a conference; to learn about the way we minister around the globe; to greet friends and make new friends; to relish God’s creation; and, of course, eat!

We voted unanimously to be a Global Mission Conference and approved an almost-balanced budget. http://uccmetrosuffolk.org/news/images/2010-nycam-panorama.jpg


Below are a few scenes from our time together, captured by photographers Tom Martinez and John Werner.
This is the beautiful panorama we enjoyed at Silver Bay.

We filled the auditorium with praise and dialogue. This beautiful altar focused our attention at all the meetings in the auditorium. Interim Conference Minister Rita Root is helping us honor our past, examine our present and plan for our future.

It was DAMP on Saturday morning, but nothing stopped Rita Root and friends from this morning walk. Carol Giordano helped us understand our finances. We installed new officers and Executive Council members.

And we heard from our four Regional Conference Ministers who stay in close touch with our work in our local churches. Oikos musicians inspired our worship and a Friday evening concert. This Casting Your Nets/Greening display was one of many that broadened our knowledge of life on this planet.

Cliff Aerie leads the Oikos Mission Jazz group. The children and youth created banks to gather money for the Heifer Project. In addition to the regular sumptuous meals, we enjoyed an ice cream social prior to getting our “passports” stamped at Saturday evening’s Multicultural Faire.

Overlooking Lake George, the porch provided space for quiet (and not-so-quiet) conversation. The rockers, combined with the view, made it hard to pull away and get back to the business on the program. Even the steps seemed inviting.
