15 Oct Regional Meetings Regarding National Conference Issues
On Monday we sent an email to the denominational list telling about the upcoming regional meetings regarding National Conference. The first is next Monday here in Huntington at the Good Shepherd UB church, followed by a meeting three days later in Bryan, Ohio. Then, in November, we’ll hold meetings in:
- Cochranton, Pa. (Nov 6)
- Chambersburg, Pa. (Nov 10)
- Lancaster, Ohio (Nov. 12)
- Ashley, Mich. (Nov.18)
These meetings are for both ministers and laypersons. Pat Jones and I want to talk to you about various things in preparation for next summer’s US National Conference.
- How your church should process the two referenda items, which your members must vote on next February.
- Make sure your church selects lay delegates for the conference.
- Get your input as we look toward a leadership transition next summer, when we elect a new bishop.
- Inform you about a variety of Discipline revisions being proposed.
The meetings:
- Are open to all UB people, both ministers and laypersons.
- Will last two hours.
- Are free (but we’d like you to register).
- Won’t include a meal, like the Hang with the Bishop meetings held earlier this year.
