Apr 26th, 2025MCEC Annual Church Gathering 2025

Called to Action by the Power of the Holy Spirit
Galatians 5:22-23

Saturday, April 26, 2025
10 - 11:30 a.m.

We invite you to the ACG, centered on the theme: “Called to Action by the Power of the Holy Spirit,” with reflection on Galatians 5:22–23 – the Fruits of the Spirit. We will explore how the Spirit’s presence—through love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—guides and sustains our ministry, calling us to action.

We’ll conduct the business necessary to support this ongoing mission to energize congregations, encourage leaders and embody God’s reconciling ministry for all of creation. Your presence and voice are important as we walk together.

Annual Church Gathering will take place as an online business meeting—a chance to connect and collaborate as an online community. Together, we’ll discuss important updates, including slate positions and finances. Plus, don’t miss the opportunity to meet Anthony Siegrist, MCEC executive minister.
