We are NOT Heading to Seattle Washington in September 2021

Many of you have been asking when registration will be open for the Vergers Conference in Seattle this September.  At the most recent VGEC board meeting we came to conclusion that having an in-person VGEC Annual Conference in 2021 would be practically, logistically, and safely impossible.

Seattle has been hit hard during the pandemic. A few of the churches have started reopening with limited worship opportunities and are still restricting indoor meetings. The ability to worship together, meet together, and sit down for a meal together is non-existent.  Additionally, the infrastructure of Seattle has taken a major hit with many businesses and restaurants boarded up and it is unclear if and when they will resume operation or what that will look like when they do.

Last year we tried our hand at an online annual conference/business meeting.  We learned a lot doing that and our online corporate knowledge has increased since then. We are looking forward to expanding our online offering.  Planning for a spectacular virtual conference has begun. Our Annual Conference and Communication committees are planning to bring us an awesome event this September with worship, seminars, a keynote speaker, and social opportunities. Please keep them in your prayers and stand by for more information on our virtual conference in the coming months.
