ANNUAL CONFERENCE
“Life is a Trust Walk”
June 8 - 10, 2025
Craigville Conference Center
Craigville, MA
This year’s theme is “Life is a Trust Walk”.
Our main speaker for the conference is Tina Luce of Eyes of Faith. Tina is a talented singer, musician, music director, speaker, worship leader, who also happens to be blind from birth.
Tina is an inspirational speaker bringing thought-provoking stories blended with her strong faith in God, prayer and amazing musical talents. Using her faith, music and story-telling talents, Tina helps guide others to find faith, trust, and God’s presence for themselves. Her website is eyesoffaith.com.
Arrival starts at 4 pm on Sunday, with greetings then having dinner at the Inn. Coming back to the Lodge, there is Praising God through song, then introductions and our Yankee Swap.
We have two sessions in the morning on Monday. After lunch there is some free time to explore the local communities or head across the street to Craigville beach.
After returning from free time, our third session is a video presentation about the use of copyrights in church, followed by a conversation with Tiffany Vail, Director of Media and Communications for the Southern New England Conference of the United Church of Christ.
We will also be working on our outreach project (still to be determined) and having a great time connecting with each other.
Tuesday after breakfast, we have a worship service with the collection to go to a local charity or outreach program.
