First and most important, I would like to personally thank Rev. Sadie Koppelberger and Caitlin Mallery for all their hard work as hosts of a very successful convention!!! It couldn't have happened without you two!
Convention Sunday Service October 5th, 2025
If you would like to watch the Sunday service from convention, please click on the link below. Thank you to St. Patrick's, Bigfork for recording and sharing!!
Central to the Tree of Life liturgy at the end were Deacon Gabe LePage, who carried the Cross, and Solveig Munson, who sang the cantor part. Thank you both!
On the video, the Tree of Life liturgy starts at the one hour and ten-minute point, but it's all worth watching, including Bishop Marty's sermon.
