THE PASTOR'S CORNER FOR MAY 2024

Pastor Kim here, just dropping a line about United Methodist General Conference. You have already received email(s) with some information concerning General Conference and will receive a few more through the end.

Why is it important that we have this information? As I’m sure you are aware, we are taking time over the next few months to explore who we are in many different contexts and how they all come together to create who we are individually, as a Faith Family, and as the Body of Christ. Being aware of what is going on and how to receive information is important to staying informed about who we are as United Methodists.

One thing to remember as we hear reports from General Conference is that as United Methodists we are encouraged to use the minds. God has gifted us with the gifts of logic, common sense, ability to attain knowledge and the ability to not agree with every aspect of who some-one else is with grace and prayers for their success in ministry.

So do your homework, stay informed and when you have questions feel free to reach out to me with concerns OR joys. Anyone interested in gathering for a 30 minute or so overview of General Conference happenings after church on May can meet in the front pews following worship and I will join you as soon as I am done greeting those who wish to leave right after worship. I will do my best to answer questions and if I don’t know the answers, I will seek them out and send out the answers later in the week.
​
Please continue in prayer for the delegates, staff and Bishops as they move forward with the work God has put upon their hearts.
