ANNUAL CONFERENCE
SET FOR SALINA
The annual meeting of the Kansas West Conference has been scheduled for May 28-30 at the Salina Bicentennial Center. There will be reports from the recently adjourned General Conference, as well as preparation for this summer’s Jurisdictional Conference, and our own annual business.
Please pray for all clergy and lay delegates as we prepare to be about the business of our conference.
UNITED METHODISM
101
General Conference, Jurisdictional Conference, Annual Conference, clergy, laity, resolutions, Discipline…if those terms don’t make sense to you, perhaps it’s time for a refresher course in United Methodism.
This summer we will offer an “adult confirmation” that will serve as a short term class in all things United Methodist (maybe not all things, but we’ll try to come close). If you’ve ever wondered about the governance of our denomination, or why we have all those meetings with all those people, or how we arrive at the Book of Discipline – be prepared to come and learn.
Details will be offered at the beginning of the summer. Watch and plan to be a part.
