The Southern New England Conference is one of the sponsors of the UCC Council for Health and Human Service Ministries Annual Gathering, being held March 7 - 9 in Denver, CO.

"Together through Mountains and Valleys” is the theme of this year’s Annual Gathering, a reference to CHHSM members weathering the ups and downs of the past three years as they continue to struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic as well as institutional racism and equity concerns. 

“Each year, it takes many committed hands, voices, and hearts to make the CHHSM Annual Gathering possible,” said Jamar Doyle, president and CEO of CHHSM. “The Annual Gathering wouldn’t be possible without both the hard work of our staff and the generous gifts of our partners, members, and friends. We appreciate you, and the opportunity the Annual Gathering provides to renew and strengthen the bonds between us.”

In a unique collaboration, SNEUCC joined with the Rocky Mountain Conference to co-sponsor the closing plenary as a Silver Sponsor.

“The work of the Conference is a tapestry between the local church, associations, and our covenant partners,” said Executive Conference Minister the Rev. Darrell Goodwin. “The CHHSM agencies in the footprint of the Southern New England Conference help us to truly live out our collective mission of living the love and justice of Jesus in a more profound and tangible way. It is an honor to support an agency like CHHSM that makes these connections more seamless.”
