August 2011 • GLEANER 5 REGIONAL CONVOCATION

his year marks the 35th anniversary for Adventist African-Americans Annual Convocation/camp meeting. The yearly tradition was marked by over 1,500 African-American Adventists from all over the North Pacifi c Union Conference (Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Upper Columbia and Washington) and western Canada fl ooding to rural Camp Berachah, near Auburn, Washington, for fellowship and praise from May 12–15. The convocation celebrated more than three- and-a-half decades for Northwest Regional leadership and included these highlights: Calvin Preston, speaker; Rebecca Davis, young adult speaker; Ronald Pollard, youth speaker; James Evans, youth presenter; and music by Trevoce’, a professional trio from Washington, D.C. “Though the Vision Tarry” was this year’s theme. Cindy R. Chamberlin, GLEANER managing editor

Music is a large part of Convocation. Convocation provides a chance for area choirs to display talent. Here the Mass Choir performs under the direction of Pattric Parris, North Pa- cific Union Conference regional affairs admin- istrative assistant. Parris attended the first Con- vocation and now brings her grandchildren.

“In 1977 when the first convo- cation was held, there were only three churches with less than 600 members, and now there are 3,000 members and 13 or 14 churches,” says Byron Dulan, local historian and Washington Conference Community services/personal ministries director. “Convoca- tion has been a time where they come and get their soul fix,” he says of the yearly meetings for his black broth- ers and sisters. Pictured here is Bob Moore, Northwest pastor. Good preaching is an exciting part of Convocation.

Pictured here (from left) are Ramón J. Canals, North Pacific Union Confer- ence vice president for Hispanic Ministries and Alphonso McCarthy, NPUC vice president for regional affairs. The regional affairs position now serves multiple cultures and has paved the way for ethnic groups wishing to have a voice in church ministries.

Calvin Preston, main speaker for the 2011 Regional Convocation, addresses a 1,500 crowd with charisma typical of the event. Preston is currently the senior pastor at the West End Churchrch in AtlantaAtlanta,, GeorgiaGeorgia..
