Month: June 2006

News from the Kansas East 2006 Annual Conference:

Bishop Fritz Mutti was invited by Bishop Jones to speak about the Global AIDS Fund in response to the decision of the Conference in 2005 to raise $1 per member for this fund during the 2005-2008 quadrennium. Three churches (Lenexa: St. Paul’s, Topeka: Asbury-Mt. Olive, and Manhattan: College Ave.) were recognized for already meeting or exceeding that goal. And a petition was passed pushing forward the date for reaching this goal to Annual Conference 2007.

We’ll be talking about what we need to do to raise our fair share soon.

24 people attended our First Wednesday-Evening-Contemporary-Casual
Service. We need another name for this service. What about the
Wednesday Night Gathering, or just “The Gathering” for short? Send us
an mail and let us know what you think.

During the sermonette, I promised to post websites on which you can
check out e-rumors. Here they are:

http://www.truthorfiction.com (This is the one I use most often.)
http://www.snopes.com (This one is sometimes a bit snipy.)

I also mentioned that this new service is in flux and we’re open to
suggestions and direction. Feel free to e-mail if you have something
you would like for us to try.

This Wednesday at 7 pm, we’ll begin our “Casual and Contemporary Service” as a supplement to the regular Sunday morning service. It will be casual. How casual, I hear you ask? Well, I just made a promise at youth group that I will wear cargo shorts this first Wednesday. It will be that casual.

We got back from Annual Conference about 9:30 pm last night. Sorry for the lack of posting, but internet connections were tenuous at best. One of the things we’ll need to talk about at annual conference was a committment to raise $1 from every member of a United Methodist Church in the Kansas East Conference for Aids.
