New England Annual Conference

2025 Laity Address

Hello friends, this video captures a very special moment in my ministry — the absolute privilege of delivering the Laity Address at the 2025 New England Annual Conference. Standing before hundreds of clergy and laity from across our region, I was deeply humbled to share a message that has been on my heart: a reminder that even in times of challenge and change, God continues to call us to be people of hope, faith, and joy.

In this address, I reflect on how God’s love shows up in everyday moments, sometimes in ways as simple as a pie shared with a neighbor or a prayer offered in quiet faith. These are not small things; they are the ways we embody the gospel and shine Christ’s light in the world.

I invite you to take a few moments to watch this video, to reflect on what hope and joy mean in your own life, and to consider how together we can live as a people who share God’s love generously, courageously, and joyfully. My prayer is that this message inspires you, encourages you, and reminds you that the church still has a beautiful and vital story to tell.
