What’s Happening in the United Methodist Church?

Join us Thursday, March 7

Lots of changes have happened in our denomination in the last year and the first gathering of policy makers in eight years from around the world will be held in April. This meeting, called the General Conference, is a forum where issues facing the church will be debated and important decisions will be made.

Our Church and Society team felt it was necessary to be informed about these issues and find out how we can influence church leaders. We have arranged for Don Cramer, a lay delegate to General Conference and member of Central United Methodist in Milwaukee, to meet with us.

Please consider joining our discussion on Thursday, March 7 at 7 p.m. in the Chapel. 

Topics we hope to discuss include:

  *the state of affairs in the national and WI United Methodist Church

  *what are the major topics that will be debated/decided upon?

  *how will issues surrounding same-sex marriage and gay clergy be

  addressed?

Contact Ross Workman for more information at rworkman1953@gmail.com.

Have you tried the newest addition to Lydia’s Treasure?

Fragrant handmade lotions, soaps, candles and bath bombs from MKE Franciscan Peacemakers! Made in small batches, this Milwaukee gem is home to women who have been abused, trafficked and addicted. Their healing products are a direct result of their own healing. If that sounds a lot like Thistle Farms – it’s because they have mentored this MKE program! Come breathe in the essential oil aromas and take some home. Lydia is now OPEN Monday & Tuesday 9:30-3, Wednesday evening 5-7:30, Saturday and Sunday before and after worship. Also OPEN this week Sunday afternoon before and after the 3:00 Choir Concert as well as next Sunday, March 17, for the WFB HS choir concert fundraiser. See what else is new in our little mission gift shop, where every purchase, every day, supports mission in at least one way!
