June 26-30, 2009 in Grand Rapids
UP TO DATE
INFORMATION ABOUT
GENERAL SYNOD 27 The Program and Planning
Committee, the Moderators of the General Synod, the Michigan
Conference and the Collegium of Officers are anxious to welcome
you to Grand Rapids for General Synod 27.
For many, General Synod is a family reunion where the United
Church of Christ gathers to worship, to engage in service, to do
the business of the Synod, to learn, to listen and to grow.
"Immerse Yourself" is an apt theme for Grand Rapids as we gather
along the Grand River and we immerse ourselves in exploring what
it means to live out the call of Jesus Christ as a particular
expression of the church.
While each Synod includes some of the same elements, each one is
an experience in its own right and that will certainly be true
in Grand Rapids.
This year, a spectacular River City Saturday will include an
array of speakers, choirs, workshops, Bible Study and an outdoor
festival. The day will end with a celebration that will include
a time of thanksgiving for the ministry of the Rev. John H.
Thomas who will conclude his service as General Minister and
President (GMP).
There will be a number of resolutions to consider that will
speak to our witness in and to the world, and there will be
several items of business that are related to our internal life
as a denomination. We will have an election of a new GMP, and
two Collegium officers will be presented for re-election. There
will be an expanded youth/service program, and service projects
for adults as well. There will be time for sacred conversations
on race around a number of topical areas. And the exhibit hall
will provide opportunities to learn about all kinds of
ministries — and get some free stuff!
We have paid special attention to assuring that Saturday has
speakers that are geared specifically to youth and young adults
as well as our more "seasoned" members. No matter who you are or
where you are on life's journey, we're sure that there will be
something in Grand Rapids that will excite you, challenge you
and enrich you.
