For anyone unsure what the United Methodist "connection" means, consider the "cluster." Local churches are not independent entities but rather are connected and in relationship with one another, with the District, the Annual Conference, and with their communities.
Clusters are an opportunity to experience connection in a living relationship with clergy and churches and communities in close proximity to one another in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre District.
