The 2018 Annual Conference kicked off Thursday with worship, an inspiring Episcopal Address from Bishop Ough, a teaching session with Rev. Olu Brown, a missional report highlighting what we've accomplished together, and a  festival at the Sioux Falls Canaries Baseball Park with a kickball tournament. Those present heard a variety of “Why Jesus” stories, explored what it means to stay connected to the vine, and heard and celebrated many ways people are answering God's call to ministry.  Watch video of Episcopal address, the teaching session with Olu Brown and the missional report.
