Our 2011 Annual Conference is about to begin. I must admit to being a bit nervous about my role with the title of Chair of this awesome event for our church in Indiana. I remember watching this and wondering how the people organized and prepared for this event.
I pray this will be a Spirit filled time with a focus on learning and the renewal of the UMC. We have a tremendous speaker and worship leader with Dr. Marcia McFee. Our theme of doing justice, loving kindness and walking humbly with God is just what the world in which we live needs and the church - the people - are the ones to provide that with courage.
Day 1 begins this evening (Wed, June 8) - my birthday - at Ball State. We will be gathering as clergy and laity in separate places. The first ballot will be taken for delegates to General Conference. May this be a reverent time for all.
