We had a great charge conference Sunday night (November 2, 2014). Rev. Dee Williamston, our new District Superintendent, presided. As required by The Book of Discipline, members present set clergy compensation and approved a new slate of church officers and committee members. The conference received the fund balance and other reports. Jenny and I shared our goals for the present appointment year. Those gathered sang hymns, heard a meditation from Dee and prayed for the future of the church. Jenny and I want thank everyone who attended, it’s not glamorous or exciting, but it is necessary.
