“Delivered to You” For Active Clergy Coming in November
Due to ongoing COVID-19 developments and in the spirit of Wespath’s commitment to caring for those who serve, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the 2021 in-person revItup! and Clergy Benefits Academy events. Instead, in November we will once again host “Delivered to You,” an online event open to all active UMC clergy members. This news was communicated in the Wespath Update sent out August 11 and 12. More information about dates, times, cost and registration is available at https://www.wespath.org/events. We look forward to the day when we can meet safely in person; for now, we anticipate a lively, informative online event in November with “Delivered to You!”
