Save the date for the Annual Conference Delegate Briefing on Thursday, June 4, at 7pm on Zoom!

Annual Conference Moderator Don Fitzkee will share about this year’s conference. 

Your District Standing Committee delegates (Paul Liepelt and Brian Messler) invite you to come to this year’s Annual Conference Delegate Briefing to hear from Don and prepare for the upcoming conference.

Details to come.

We are hosting our first-ever Virtual Leadership Roundtable specifically for congregational moderators and board chairpersons within the ANE District of the COB. This gathering is designed as a safe and supportive space for connection, encouragement, and shared wisdom.

Because we know leaders carry full schedules and many responsibilities, two separate meeting times will be offered, each providing the same opportunity for connection and conversation. You are invited to choose the time that best fits your availability or attend both meetings.

On behalf of the District Ministry Commission, we invite all ministers of the ANE District and their families to a FREE event on Friday, June 12! Drop in at the Ephrata Church of the Brethren from 5:00-7:00 PM to enjoy dinner & dessert, family fun, and conversation.

Please contact the District Office with any dietary restrictions.

RSVP to let us know how many in your family plan to attend.
