There is another great opportunity this year for Latino/a/e seminarians in the UCC: the Rev. Dr. Hector E. Lopez Scholarahip.

Would you like to help out on an awesome queer project? Would you like to learn and help our Conference learn how to engage the concerns, theology, and everyday needs of our LGBTQ congregants, clergy, and neighbors?

Get ready for exciting opportunities as we bid farewell to February and extend a warm welcome to March!

We are proud to share the news of Rev. Rachael Pryor’s call as the presumptive candidate for the position of Conference Minister with the Southern California Nevada Conference (SCNC).

Friends of the UCC K-O Conference, I am so grateful to have an opportunity to serve as president. The next two years will be an important time for our churches, our conference and, yes, our wider communities in the nation and abroad.

Together we are the Church, together we can make a difference in our communities, and together we can make manifest God’s love in our world.

The spirit of love, kindness, and hope that enveloped our conference this last year and in our congregations during the Christmas season continues to inspire and guide us as we approach the dawn of another year.

From all of us at the Kansas Oklahoma Conference of the United Church of Christ, may this Christmas bring you closer to the boundless love and grace of God.

Please feel free to share this with other clergy, in your town or in your denomination. We are asking that this be clergy-only for now.

With your support and generosity, we can expand our ability to help congregations and clergy address the concerns lifted during our Annual Meeting and continue to do what we do best: welcome all, build connections, and transform lives.

As we approach the season of gratitude and gatherings, I find myself reflecting on the past weeks filled with enriching experiences and moments of celebration that embody the essence of Thanksgiving.
