The Western PA Conference is pleased to announce that Bishop Sandra Steiner Ball will embark on a tour of the districts in the WPA Conference, beginning next month.
The "Out & About" Tour will allow Bishop Steiner Ball to meet with clergy, laity, and members of local congregations all across western Pennsylvania. This is Bishop Steiner Ball's opportunity to meet and greet as many people as possible and listen to Western PA United Methodists' hopes and dreams, hear their concerns, and learn of their interests. She also hopes to offer guidance and support for the coming year.
Bishop Steiner Ball will also be participating in worship services and engaging in other mission activities that will help her gain a deeper understanding of the needs of the people she serves in her role as the new bishop of the Western Pennsylvania Conference.
"I am so looking forward to meeting with clergy, laity, and others throughout this great Conference, and I cannot wait to hear stories of how the Holy Spirit continues to work through the people of western Pennsylvania," said Bishop Steiner Ball. "It is incredibly important for me to meet as many wonderful United Methodists as I can. I am eager to hear about the opportunities and aspirations of the people I am privileged to lead."
Each stop on the tour will have a specific meeting for clergy and laity and will include opportunities for conversation and to get to know Bishop Steiner Ball. Please continue to follow our website and our social media channels for any updates regarding the tour.
