The May issue of the Messenger is filled with details about the 202nd Convention in Boston. Boston, Massachusetts, will always remind me of my sister, who passed away a few years ago. She used to work at the Paul Revere House and loved U.S. colonial history, living museums, and pretty much everything Boston.
I haven’t had the opportunity to go into downtown Boston since the last time that I was there with her, many years ago, so I am especially excited to see what the Boston Society has in store for Convention attendees—particularly the “Taste of Boston” outing!
This year’s Mini Courses also resonate with me. Art has always played a prominent role in my life and home, and I am looking forward to celebrating the theme with classes focused on fine art, music, and more!
Another highlight will be Rev. Catherine Lauber’s Convention Worship Service this year. Being able to experience a different minister’s service, and the diversity of experience that they each bring, is always meaningful.
Finally, I am most excited to see everyone! I know I am blessed to be able to attend these gatherings and I cherish every connection and shared laugh, cry, and memory that is formed at these events.
If you can manage it, and aren’t sure if you are going to attend this year, I implore you, “Come!” All are welcome and all are made to feel welcome. If you’re ever unsure of what to do or where to go, grab a seat next to me! The very best thing about these events is the people—this group always makes sure no one leaves a stranger!
