Echo of Joy

Conference meeting

Sunday, October 17, 2010

Last week was the monthly gathering of the Cannon River Conference of the Southeast Minnesota Synod of the ELCA. Minnesota is divided into six synods--Minneapolis area, St. Paul area, and the four quadrants of the rest of the state. The Southeast Minnesota synod is divided into approximately five conferences, so it's a fairly compact geographical area.

The conference meeting is a chance for the pastors of this area to get together for fellowship, reflection, visioning, and worship. In September we gathered at First Lutheran in Red Wing and worshiped in their small chapel. It was a warm and serene space, and I regret not getting any pictures.

This month, we were hosted by Bethel Lutheran in Northfield, and I didn't make the no-pictures mistake twice. Here's the beautiful space.

My favorite part...the floor of little rocks!

We just had our conference meeting recently. Reading your post I was wondering, do you feel like an outsider because you don't drink coffee?

Haha, I feel like an outsider everywhere I go because I don't drink coffee!
