Bishop Gregory Vaughn Palmer is retiring after serving 24 years in Episcopal leadership. We in West Ohio, have been blessed to have him lead our conference for the last twelve. First Lady Cynthia Palmer has had a significant role in this conference and in every aspect of Bishop’s stellar career.

In honor of their service to the Church, you are invited you to express your appreciation in the following ways:

• Send a card to the Palmers. Please send them to: Bishop Gregory and Mrs. Cynthia Palmer, West Ohio Conference, 32 Wesley Blvd., Worthington, Ohio 43085.
• Contribute to a love offering. Financial contributions may be made here or by sending a check made payable to West Ohio Conference c/o the Foundation (UMFWO), 32 Wesley Blvd., Worthington, OH 43085 with "Palmers Gift Fund" in the memo line.
• Leave your words of appreciation online here and those sentiments will be shared with them as well. 
• Your cards and gifts must be received by May 15, 2024. The Palmers will be presented with these gifts at the West Ohio Annual Conference on May 31.

Please keep the Palmer Family in your prayers as they begin this next chapter of their lives. May they feel the presence of the Holy Spirit as they are surrounded by this outpouring of love and appreciation.
