Retired Pastor's Zoom Gathering

While the 2020 Retiree’s Retreat has been cancelled, a Service of Remembrance will take place on Monday, 11/30/2020, 11am MST, 10am PST. Read this letter from Pastor Kirk Anderson for more info.

Retired Pastors,

Over the past sixteen years, those who attended the annual Retiree's Retreat (Pastors, Deacons, Spouses, Widows and Widowers) took time to remember those who had died in the past year. The 2020 Retreat was of course canceled but we wish to maintain the tradition via a Zoom gathering on Monday, November 30th at 11:00 a.m. Arizona Time. Bishop Hutterer will join us for this Service of Remembrance. Please register for the event by clicking here.

On a personal note, I need this Service of Remembrance to recall/cherish memories of two men who played important roles in my own years of ministry. We know how to do this: a bell will sound, a scripture verse read and a name called out and in the silence we will remember. It is important for us to do this work together. 

I encourage you to register.

Kirk Anderson
