Musings on Annual Conference

That time of year has come around again for United Methodists to gather from across the state.  Some things will be the same; lots of talking and reminiscing; terrific worship; and lots of church business to conduct.  Mostly the same sorts of people ...only a little older, plumper in the middle, and with more experience. 

Other things will be different like newly ordained folks, and new retirees. Our location is new this year as we will gather in Indianapolis at the Convention Center for the first time.  (In between the Republican Convention and the Gay Pride Parade- what an oddity we add to that mix!!)

Not sure what to expect or how to mesasure what a successful conference would be.  Only I hope to ...1) make connections with lots of old friends 2) make some new friends and 3) in the midst listen for how God is moving among and within and (often in spite of) Hoosier United Methodists!

Pray for us!  As we pray to accomplish what Christ has in mind for His church.
