Call for Workshop Proposals for First-Ever Gathering of Faith-Based Aging Services Organizations in March 2026

"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good."  ~ I Corinthians 12:4-7

Submit Workshop Proposals by Friday, May 30, 2025
The Call for Workshop Proposals for The Gathering is now online, with the deadline for submissions set for midnight Friday, May 30. The timeline for The Gathering — including such deadlines as workshop proposals — is different from a normal PAHSA Spring Conference, and was created to accommodate the needs of all four associations.

A first-ever collaborative effort, five faith-based aging services organizations will hold The Gathering: Many Gifts, One Spirit, March 24-26, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency in Indianapolis. Some 500 attendees are expected from the four associations: UCC Council for Health and Human Service Ministries (CHHSM), the merged Mennonite Health Services (MHS) and Friends Services Alliance (FSA), Methodist Ministries Network (MMN), and the Presbyterian Association of Homes & Services for the Aging (PAHSA). The event will include meaningful worship services, inspirational keynote addresses, and workshops centered around the theme, “Many Gifts, One Spirit,” based on 1 Corinthians 12:4-7
