Synod Assembly 2024 – “Embracing Change with Courage: While Listening For the Voice of God Together”
Haven’t I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take.” ~ Joshua 1:9 (The Message)
On October 25-26 in Albany NY, the presbyteries of the Synod of the Northeast gathered for its biannual Assembly. It was a time to thank outgoing Moderator, the Rev. Stephen Park Choi (Stewartsville), for his year of service in that role, before he takes on his new role as Moderator of the Synod’s Mission and Ministries Commission.
