Featuring worship, plenary sessions, workshops and excursions, the 14th annual convention of the Association of Retired Ministers, their Spouses or Survivors takes place at the Ramada Mall of America in Bloomington, MN, Thurs. through Sun., Sept. 9-12.

The convention has the theme, “Called to a Lifetime of Service: God’s Plan or Ours,” and “focuses on the fact that God calls us not just for a portion of our lives, but for the whole of our lives,” the Rev. Ellen Davis, convention chair wrote in the organization’s newsletter.

“Retirement does not mean the end of our call, but a change in the way we hear our call. God calls us in many ways in retirement,” the newsletter noted.

In addition to the planned activities, the convention will offer the opportunity for informal conversations and gatherings, giving members and friends of ARMSS the freedom to connect and reconnect.

The registration fee until Aug. 17 is $125 plus a $20 membership fee for those who are not currently members. After Aug. 17 the registration fee is $175.

The convention registration form is located on Page 9 of the ARMSS newsletter. Additional information is also available by contacting Ginny Nyhuis, Box 700311, Oostberg, WI 53070 (gnyhuis@verizon.net) or the Rev. Ellen Davis, 1540 Garret Lane, #204, Lincoln, NE 68512 (edavis11@neb.rr.com).
