On June 3, 2010, members of the North Alabama Conference gathered at ClearBranch UMC. The day began with a family picnic. There were grilled hamburgers, games for the children, live music, mission projects and mission displays. This was a designated time for Conference members to gather and fellowship, catch up with new friends and make new connections.
Following the picnic there was a dialogue session for those interested in being delegates to General and Jurisdictional 
Conferences in 2012. Gloria Holt and Bill Morgan led the session.
Following a dinner break, members of the Conference then gathered at Huffman UMC for the Memorial Service. This special time of worship is a time the Annual Conference remembers those clergy and clergy spouses who have died in the last year.
