* “But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream” (Amos 5:24, CEB). The Conference staff and board are beginning to imagine how this new theme verse will guide our ministry in the coming year. God’s justice will come! How will we watch and join God’s justice work?

* With deep gratitude, we celebrate the service of those who recently concluded ministry on IMMC leadership teams: Naomi Yoder-Hess (Secretary, IMMC board); Duane Yoder (Treasurer, IMMC board and Stewardship Team); Jeff Miller (Stewardship Team); Kelly Carson and Ruben Chupp (Ministry Credentialing Team); Kent Miller (Leadership Enhancement Team); Rod Maust and Sharon Norton (Gifts Development Team).

* LightHouse Fellowship Church is the new name for Grand Marais Mennonite Church in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Pastor Phil Bontrager has been leading the congregation in identifying their values, vision, and purpose as a congregation. Nearly two years ago, they began prayerful discernment about what their names says about who they are in a tourist town. This new name emerged as a meaningful expression of their identity.
