“Get Ready for the Laity Session!”
I am looking forward to Annual Conference this year and hearing about your hopes and dreams for your churches. We had such a good time last year sharing the wonderful ideas and outreach to your mission fields you are providing to those around you. We definitely needed more time than we had! Many of you didn’t get to share but we heard from you individually along with the excellent articles detailing the work you are doing around the Conference. I love seeing and hearing how each of you personally and corporately as a church are being the hands and feet of Jesus in the world. That is our calling as United Methodist Christians and followers of our Savior.
This year I would love for you to share what your hopes, dreams, new programs, “sticking your neck out just trying it” things you will be implementing or are in the planning stage of doing. We all love to hear new ideas, stages of planning, the whys you are doing this mission, etc. Come prepared to step to the microphone and offer what “new thing” is about to happen at your church and in your community.
Again, Annual Conference is getting here quickly and this is the perfect time to bounce new, innovative ideas off each other. Thank you for all you do to strengthen the witness of our United Methodist Church.
Blessed to Serve,
Kathy Conley
Arkansas Conference Lay Leader
