UCC Southwest Conference Annual Meeting '06
On April 27th-29th 7 delegates from First UCC travelled to Phoenix to participate in the Southwest Conference's Annual Meeting. This was a great oppurtunity to meet people from other UCC churches and get a better understanding of where the conference is going. We also got to hear the president and general minister of the United Church of Christ, John Thomas speak!
