Dear Friends,
This afternoon we will host our church’s annual meeting. In the tradition of the United Methodist Church, we call it a Church Conference. It is a required meeting in our denomination and the meeting offers church members a voice in decisions regarding the mission and ministry of the church.
At today’s conference we will hear from our District Superintendent, Rev. Mark Spaw, who oversees the 70 United Methodist Churches of the Ann Arbor District. In addition, we will vote on church officers for 2014 and clergy compensation.
One of the highlights of the meeting is voting the recommendation of our candidates for ministry: Sue Pethoud, Bryan Kilpatrick, Dan Phillips and Suzy Hutchison. In addition, we will vote to support Rev. Paul Hahm as he continues in the process toward ordination as an elder.
Members of our church will speak about how First UMC has helped them to be disciples of Jesus Christ.
Please join us in the sanctuary from 2:45 – 3:45 for our annual Church Conference.
Blessings,
Pastor Sherry
