I am really excited for the East Region Conference, July 17th – 19th 2018 at the Syracuse Vineyard Church in Syracuse, New York. For me it’s my Vineyard family reunion; three days of reconnecting, worshiping and learning together. And, your teen and kids will love the fun and impacting programs we have planned. New this year is the Vineyard Family Festival on Wednesday afternoon. This will be a free cookout with games and a time to hang out. I can’t wait to see you all in Syracuse this July!
