Bishop Sandra Steiner Ball is inviting the laity to a gathering to acknowledge the anxious times we are in as the United Methodist Church prepares for the Special General Conference in February 2019. She will meet with the laity of the MonValley and Wesleyan Districts on Saturday, January 12, 2019, at Quiet Dell UMC from 3:00 PM-5:00 PM. Quiet Dell UMC is located at 96 Trinity Road, Mt. Clare, WV.
The tentative agenda will include: Devotional time, bringing us up to date on the conversation about The Way Forward, sharing how this General Conference will do its work together, interpreting the Judicial Council decisions and its impact on the General Conference work.
The important meeting will also attempt to address misinformation and frequently asked questions. This time together will be an opportunity for the laity of our District to hear directly from the bishop on the current work as The United Methodist Church navigates a way forward that would honor our Lord and help us fulfill our mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
If you are unable to make it to the meeting on Saturday, January 12, you may attend any of the other meetings offered throughout the conference as listed below.
