Each year it is such a joy to gather together as a district to connect and grow in our relationships with each other and to be refreshed at Ministers and Spouses Retreat. This year will look a little different as we combine our District Council business and Credentialing Service with the retreat. 


*We have put all events for these days at the Highland Conference Center to give room for those who want to practice social distancing, you'll be able to. If things change in South Dakota we will make the appropriate decisions at that time. 


Like in previous years, there is NO childcare for any part of this event.
