West Ohio Conference Recommendations (June 6 - 10)

Our West Ohio Annual Conference consisting of approximately 3,000 lay and clergy representing 1,150 United Methodist churches meets June 6 to 10 at the historic and scenic Lakeside grounds, in Lakeside, Ohio, along Lake Erie.

In addition to inspiring worship services, the ordination of Deacons and Elders, the approval of the conference budget, and times for learning and growth, Bishop Bruce Ough will preside over our legislative meetings. This year, we have seven recommendations to consider as an Annual Conference.

.

This year's theme is "Love in Action: Building Bridges Out of Poverty" which is one of four denominational goals for this quadrennium (2008 - 2012.)

Please keep Lancaster First UMC's representatives, Scott & Regina Gottliebson, Cheryl Foulk, Sam Halverson, and me in your prayers as we prepare to participate in this year's Annual Conference.
