We Need to Talk About... Changes Since General Conference 2024
General Conference 2024 made a number of changes to our Book of Discipline and our overall church structure - some that require constitutional amendments that we will vote on at Annual Conference in June. Changes concern the role of the Deacons, our relationships with one another as a worldwide church, and allowance of ordination and weddings of LGBTQIA+ persons. Pastor Michelle will share these developments and what responsibilities and say the local church has on some of the decisions at a talk on Sunday, June 22 at 5 p.m. in the Sanctuary. Come ask your questions and share your perspectives on these developments.
