This year we have rebranded our Annual Convention Weekend because it sounds like a weekend of meetings, but it is meant to be so much more. Instead we are calling it an Annual Community Weekend with a theme of ”Widening the Circle.” This year, we are creating new opportunities to welcome in more people, strengthen our connections, while reconnecting with those who may not have connected with us in awhile.

Because the theme of our 2026 UMC Annual Community Weekend is “Widening the Circle”, programs and activities will also be available online via Zoom, making it easier for members and friends near and far to participate. Whether you join us in person or from home, there is a place for you in the circle.

Our dedicated online site makes participation easy. You can register, make your payment, view the schedule, and find the information you need for the weekend. So we invite you to Come as you are. Leave more connected. Come be part of the circle. We look forward to your participation in our 2026 UMC Annual Community Weekend. All are welcome.

Blessings,

Rev. Tija Hilton-Phillips,
