Get to Know Bishop Cynthia Moore-Koikoi

October 8, 2024 | | GNJ News, Messages from the Bishop

We’re all super excited that we have a new bishop, Cynthia Moore-Koikoi.

Today we’ll explore some of her favorite movies, songs, and books. As we share her favorite things, we’ll invite you to share your own. Each section below contains a downloadable .pdf that you can use to create conversation around the table at your next coffee hour or fellowship event., or even at the dinner table. As one church member who recently went through the Bridges program said “, “I know everybody in our church, but I realized I didn’t really know anybody.”

We invite you to journey alongside us, as we get to know our new bishop, and one another, a little more deeply. Today, Bishop Moore-Koikoi shares her answers to a series of questions that I like to call, “Movies that Made Me.”
