Please join us in the Wesley Dining Hall on Monday, October 17 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss important topics concerning the future of the United Methodist Church. District Superintendent Rebecca Trefz, Jennifer Larsen, and our pastors will offer current information. Many of you know there has been an ongoing discussion and strife within the United Methodist Church concerning certain restrictions against ordaining LGBTQ pastors and prohibiting gay marriages. Many churches and people holding more traditionalist views are leaving the UMC, altering the landscape of the discussions. Unfortunately, many instances of false information have been spread about the UMC’s future. Come and hear accurate and updated information concerning these issues and about plans for the continuing United Methodist Church. In addition, we will provide information about the appointment of a new bishop in November. All persons are welcome to this important discussion.
