A few pictures from Bishop Jung's days in Northern Waters this week collected from East Ohio Communications and DS Lewis. To see more, see the EOC Facebook post, which was also shared on the Northern Waters Facebook page.
Thank you to Hudson, Portage Faith, Camp Asbury, Garrettsville, Nelson, Rocky River and Story Church, Willson, Cory, St. Matthew, and Aldersgate UMCs for such great hospitality for Bishop Jung's visit.
So far, Bishop Jung has been able to visit about 28 of our 104 churches over the past two years. He has a very busy schedule which often changes, but we hope to get more visits in in 2027.
