Retired Clergy Association Gathering

Zoom info to be e-mailed before the event. Please e-mail James Galbreath, jtgalbreath17@gmail.com, with any questions.

WHAT IS IT??

In this era of COVID-19, in order to protect us, seniors, we have not been able to gather for our fellowship meals. However, we have also been learning about virtual gatherings via Zoom during this time, so your Executive Committee has decided to give that kind of "meeting" a try. 

This will be an opportunity to renew acquaintances and share good conversation. The format will start with a whole group gathering, then switch to small group interactions,  and end by reuniting for a chance to briefly share with the whole group and close with a sending forth.
