Although General Synod doesn't begin officially until July 1, at least two delegates are already en route—by bicycle!
The Rev. David Quinn of Nazareth, Pa., is biking 810 miles to Atlanta to raise funds for his friend and colleague, the Rev. Karen Kresge, who is in need of a lung transplant. Pledges of support can be made by contacting the UCC's Penn Northeast Conference at [email protected].
Also, Eric. C. Smith (pictured above), one of the General Synod's assistant moderators, is visiting dozens of churches while biking to Atlanta from Freeport, Maine. Follow his prayerful pedaling online at www.comelisten.org. (Note: Eric is writing a blog on his journey).
