I am in Appleton this week for our annual conferencing. The pastors and non-pastor leadership of the United Methodist churches in Wisconsin come together annually to discuss all that is going on and all that we think needs to go on. We discuss everything from organizational budget to ministries to political issues that we sense a need to take a stance on. I don't mind being here, but would always rather be doing ministry locally (BMZ area). Anyway, please pray for the United Methodist Church as a whole. We really need God to intervene in our proceedings if we are going to be the churches that God wants us to be. Please also pray about how we at BMZ can be a light in the darkness for many other churches around the state. As your pastor, please let me thank you for all that you do and who you are as servants of God's Kingdom through our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Hope the conference is a time of renewal, maybe a little relaxing while you are away from the work of the BMZ hotseat. Mission trip next?
The epic mini-series- very timely. Something(s) to think about all week.
Appreciate your good work, thoughtful and inspired message.
