Dear DSC Siblings,
The CRCC training workshop that the California Nevada Annual Conference and Western Jurisdiction were preparing, unfortunately, has been postponed to allow broader participation and better training opportunity to the congregations and clergy of our Jurisdiction.
We will keep you informed about when the next one will be. Thank you for your patience and consideration.
Rev. Javier Olivares
Chair, CORR
