SUMMARY:2027 Gathering of the Orders and Fellowships
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendars for the biennial Gathering of the Orders and Fellowships\, October 7-9\, 2027\, at Wesley United Methodist Church in Yakima. This is a time of worship\, reflection\, learning\, and connection for clergy and those serving in certified or ordered lay ministry across the PNW Conference. \nPlease note a change from our usual scheduling: this Gathering will run Thursday through Saturday\, rather than our typical timeframe. This shift is intended to make attendance more accessible for those who are dually employed\, including Deacons\, Deaconesses/Home Missioners\, Licensed Local Pastors\, and Certified Lay Ministers. Announcing these dates more than a year in advance is also meant to give everyone ample time to plan\, including making any necessary Sunday accommodations. \nMore details\, including registration\, will follow. In the meantime\, if you’d like to be part of the planning team\, sign up here.
