A Day to Imagine

A group of about 30 from around the Conference gathered at the Church of The Beatitudes to 'imagine' - that is to say, to invite the Holy Spirit to move in ways that gave us new ideas about how to be and build church.

Here is the Rev. Dr. Steve Wayles doing his commercial for the United Church of Christ of the future:


Here are the Rev. Brian Frederick-Gray and the soon to be Rev. Jeremy Lopez, looking cool having spent some time in the sun talking about leadership in the church of the future:


Here are Katrina Glenn, our Youth and Outdoor Ministry director, and the Rev. Cameron Trimble, the Executive Director of the Center for Progressive Renewal. When I saw this picture, I wondered: "OK, who just said what?"


And finally, here are the Rev. Randy Mayer from Church of the Good Shepherd in Sahuarita, Pete Norum from First Congregational UCC in Prescott, and Cameron. They really look intent - something important must have been going on at the time.
