Susquehanna Conference Bishops' Gatherings
Bishops' District Gatherings
Bishop Cynthia Moore-Koikoi and Bishop Sandra Steiner Ball begin Episcopal oversight of the Susquehanna Conference today, September 1, 2021. Both Bishops are excited to begin this new assignment.
For the Bishops to begin to become acquainted with the Susquehanna Conference and our seven districts, there will be clergy/laity gatherings in each district. All clergy and laity are invited to attend one of the district gatherings. At least one of Bishops will be in person at each gathering.
The agenda for the day has been planned by our Bishops. The agenda will include:
Gathering worship and Renewal of Baptism
Sharing a bit of who each Bishop is:
Their call stories
Leadership styles
Hopes and dreams for the continuing United Methodist Church
Facilitated conversation and sharing of the hopes and dreams of the gathered community
What are the most critical things our new Bishops need to know about the district?
