To keep you abreast of District Ministry Developments…
1. Three churches merged recently in Springfield to form a “Faith UMC”: Central, LaGonda, and Story Hypes. Pray for them as they begin to live into new.
2. Have a District Revitalization team in development to assist our churches in turn around strategies.
3. Developing some neat partnerships across the district linking up churches for greater effectiveness in mission and ministry.
4. A large number of appointments are in process this year, 27 at last count. Pray that God will raise up just the right leader for each and every context.
5. District Trustees are forming and will be evaluating District Endowment investments.
6. Apportionments came in right at 80%, a strong showing as we climb out of the economy. Looking to pick back up this year as everyone mobilizes to maximize our dollars for true kingdom work.
7. Looking ahead to new District, website launch and opportunities for our local churches to get in on the fun too with platforms uniquely created for any size church.
8. Locking in key dates and first class growth opportunities for the New Year. Stay tuned.
