On March 5, at 7 pm, Rev. Richard Bentley, a US delegate to the United Methodist General Conference, and Rev. Izzy Alvaran, a GC delegate from the Philippines, will meet by Zoom with any interested church members to discuss current preparations for General Conference, who/what is disaffiliating (under current rules), and other topics of interest, so we can understand what we as First Church can do while the denomination prepares for GC 2024. With the results of 2019 Special GC, and GC 2020 being postponed at least twice (and now not occurring), we are living in unprecedented times for our denomination, and it will be very helpful for us to be as informed as possible this year leading up to GC 2024. Please make plans now to attend this most important and informative meeting. The Zoom link will be sent out closer to the meeting day and time. This meeting is hosted and sponsored by the Pastor’s Advisory Team (PAT). If you have questions, please contact bethswanick@gmail.com.
