The Atlantic Northeast District Ministry Commission invites all COB ministers and laity to an online training workshop on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 10am-1pm (EST) led by G. Jeffrey MacDonald, author of Part-Time is Plenty: Thriving without Full-Time Clergy (promo code for 40% off the book will be sent to registrants). Attendees will explore ways to enhance congregational vitality with part-time ministry models! CEUs available. Register by Tuesday, April 14!  Event flyer. PNG.

We are hosting our first-ever Virtual Leadership Roundtable specifically for congregational moderators and board chairpersons within the ANE District of the COB. This gathering is designed as a safe and supportive space for connection, encouragement, and shared wisdom.

Because we know leaders carry full schedules and many responsibilities, two separate meeting times will be offered, each providing the same opportunity for connection and conversation. You are invited to choose the time that best fits your availability or attend both meetings.

May is National Older Adult Month… Join 100 or more of your “young at heart” ANE friends for a special luncheon and joyous celebration!

The cost of $27 includes a meal, a concert by the Ridgeway Brass quintet, and the opportunity to fellowship with older adults from across the district (as well as special guest Don Fitzkee, this year’s Annual Conference Moderator)! 

Flyer PDF. Paper Registration. PPT Slide.

Limited to 12 youth.
