Dear Beloved South Central Conference Community, With deep sorrow and abiding gratitude, we share the news that Rev. Arlene Turner, Chair of our Board of Directors, died on Monday, March 16, in a tragic car accident. Arlene was traveling to visit her sister when a sudden accident involving a detached trailer led to the crash. We share this news with heavy hearts, even as we hold fast to the gift of her life among us. Arlene was a faithful leader, a wise and steady presence, and a beloved colleague and friend to so many across our Conference. Her leadership as Board Chair was marked by deep commitment, clarity of vision, and a genuine love for the Church. She gave herself fully to this community, and her impact will continue to shape us in the days ahead. Even as we grieve, we give thanks—for Arlene’s life, for her ministry, and for the many ways she helped to nurture the body of Christ in this place. We trust that nothing, not even death, can separate us from the love of God. Please hold her husband, Ron, her son, Danny, and all who loved her in your prayers. No memorial arrangements have been finalized at this time; we will share details with you as they become available. In the days ahead, we will find ways to gather, to remember, and to honor Arlene’s life and leadership. This week’s Wednesday morning Clergy Café will be one such space for prayer, remembrance, and community, and all are welcome to join. Clergy Café zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89108033778.... The meeting ID is 891 0803 3778 and the passcode is 310543. For now, we invite you to pause, to pray, and to give thanks for a life so generously lived. Grace and peace, Rev. Molly Carlson Conference Minister
