Today the Norwich Area Clergy Association met for its monthly meeting. It was a bittersweet time at Central Baptist. It is always good to get together with colleagues but today we acknowledged the fact that this was Michelle Madsen Bibeau's last meeting with us and one of the last meetings for Rev. Sidat Balgobin who will be retiring from Park Congregational Church in December.
Rev. Greg Perry of the Greenville Congregational Church is the new President and he is excited about the group and has all kinds of plans for our monthly gatherings. Rabbi Charles Arian is the Treasurer and Rev. John Lancz of United Congregational Church is the Secretary. We got a picture of those who were present today.
The main topic of today's meeting was the frequency and make up of our meetings going forward. Greg Perry is determined to grow the group and get more of the clergy involved.Good programs and better connections will fuel his efforts. It is exciting to see his enthusiasm.
We also noted that there will be an interfaith Thanksgiving service on November 19th at GRace Episcopal Church in Yantic.
