The Catch of the Week is a bite-sized update focusing on telling the story of our conference. We do this primarily through interviews with church members, staff, and event leaders. This year we celebrated baptisms, reflected on events, tackled challenges, welcomed new staff, supported outreach projects, checked in on our church plants, and got to know our conference staff. 38 blog posts were added to our website and featured in our Friday newsletter.
