In Sympathy: Rev. Walter "Slim" Coleman
Rev. Walter “Slim” Coleman, a retired member of the Northern Illinois Conference, passed away on Tuesday, April 16, 2024.
Plans are coming together for the 182nd Northern Illinois Annual Conference which will be held virtually July 16-17 through a Zoom webinar. The theme is "Jesus Makes a Way." The scripture focus is Matthew 14:13-21 and the feeding of the five thousand. We are reminded through this miracle that no matter how big the obstacle or challenge we face, Jesus will provide and make a way. Jesus told the Disciples of the crowd gathered, “They need not go away” and in the end “all ate and were filled.”
