Tri-State District Conference


Pastor Gwyneth and Shirley Wallace attended the Tri-State District Conference on Saturday, September 23 held at St. Johns UMC in NH. In the past, this conference has mostly been business meeting style. However, this Fall conference brought some new vision from our new District Superintendants, Revs. Mike and Jan Davis. Worship included testimonies of personal faith and missional callings. And after some of the business was taken care of, workshops were offered on a variety of topics. Shirley and Gwyneth attended one workshop led by Rev. David Calhoun at the W. Scarborough UMC on growing congregations by becoming more welcoming of visitors, and one where we could ask the district superintendents any question on our minds. Both workshops were very informative, and Shirley or Gwyneth would be happy to talk to you about them.
