We're asking friends and colleagues to submit video messages wishing Rev. Jeffry Bross a very big thank you for his six years of service as the Aurora and Prairie Central Districts' Superintendent for the NIC. Your submissions will be brought together into one beautiful video gift, and it will be presented to him. 

Submit a video 

Please consider adding to a gift for Jeffry to take with him into his new parish.


Jeffry was appointed to the cabinet in 2018 and was just getting started when COVID hit. His role quickly shifted to one of holding the churches together in community. Jeffry's faith and encouragement during that time and beyond has been a gift to us all.
