Our  conference  was  saddened  by  the  death  of  our  Conference Secretary-Treasurer,  Rev.  Ted  A.  Perkins,  August  30  after  8 months battling kidney cancer.   Ted was a faithful member of our conference and served over 6 years on the conference board.  We will miss Ted, but we know that he is with the Lord and not suffering any more.   Thanks  to all  the churches of our conference  that sent  love  gifts  to Miss Fae during his  illness  and after his passing.  Please continue  to remember Miss Fae as she adjusts  to her new life without her life partner.  For the present time she is continuing to live in the parsonage at Church of Living Waters, 5006 Barnaby Lane, Oxon Hill, MD 20745.
