District Pastors and Professionals Meeting

The monthly meeting of the San Angelo District "Pastors and [church]Professionals" took place at Veribest UMC this morning.

We enjoyed some rousing music before and during the worship (offered by the host pastor, Rev. Mike Thompson, on guitar with a couple of other people), singing out of the old Cokesbury Worship Book. We had worship, led by our D.S., Rev. Larry Altman, with the theme from I Corinthians 13 "Faith, hope & love." The gathered community offered signs in their congregations and communities of faith, hope and love.

Following the worship service, we heard from Rev. Altman, along with Gini Christian and Amy Moore (both from the district office). Among the information shared was the way church conferences will be conducted.  More information will be shared in the coming weeks. Lay speakers will also be affected by the way training is offered and documented; more to follow on this score too!

A delicious meal was provided by the host congregation, which was appreciated by one and all!
