Provisional Retreat at Pine Lake
The Provisional Members of the WI Annual Conference met at Pine Lake July 17-19 for their yearly Provisional Retreat. This is just one part of the Provisional Residency Program in WI. The other two parts of the Provisional Residency Program include monthly mentor meetings and two Provisional Continuing Ed. Workshops per year that focus on theological or pastoral topics. At this retreat we welcomed the nine new Provisional Members that were commissioned at 2022 Annual Conference, met in mentor groups, learned about the Board of Ordained Ministry, met in Order (Elder or Deacon) groups and had sabbath time.
