Clergy Days Apart are being offered across the Upper New York Conference in early 2026, inviting pastoral leaders to step away from the regular rhythms of ministry and rest in the unhurried rhythms of grace. These days are designed to provide sacred time and space for reflection, renewal, and reconnecting with one’s spiritual center. Participants will draw deeply from the Wellspring of Love and return to ministry refreshed and grounded.
Each district will host two opportunities—one in the Pre-Lent season and another during the Resurrection/Pentecost season—at locations throughout the conference. Clergy are encouraged to register for the gathering that best fits their schedule.
