Our region has much to be thankful for and we have much work to do. We are grateful for the support that is offered by all who accompany us on the holy road we travel together. We are grateful for the kinship that exists with neighboring regions. Our partnership across judicatories affords us the reality of having the tools for regional ministry that big regions have while in reality being a region with micro capacity in terms of temporal resources. Regional life continues to be an offering of love and devotion to the Risen Christ in whose presence and peace we stand.
