Where did the time go? It feels like April just got here, and it is already May. April was so busy with concerts, fundraisers, and other events, but May is a month filled with prepara-tion as we approach summer. It's also a month with events that connect us with the larger workings of the United Methodist Church.
The last week of April into the first week of May, the General Conference of the United Methodist Church gathers to vote on important matters to the denomination. Three of those matters include regionalization to make a structural change to the denomination; revising the social principles to include greater emphasis on human rights and diversity; and establishing a budget for the entire denomination. These are just some highlights of the critical work done at the General Conference. I encourage you to look it up online to find out what changes have or have not occurred.
The other Conferencing event will take place soon in the Annual Conference for the Baltimore-Washington Conference. This event will directly impact local churches like us as they will vote and consider local redistricting measures, budgets, and other essential matters. It is also where decisions approved by the General Conference must be voted on and ratified by annual conferences. I will be attending it again in Baltimore this year, but you can also keep up to date through the conference website when it becomes available.
These events may seem distant and disconnected from us locally, but I assure you they will eventually make a connectional impact on local churches. If you have ever won-dered how big decisions get made in our denomination, you must pay attention to the General Conference and how the process carries on to annual conferences.
But if denominational politics and operations aren't your cup of tea, that's okay. Plenty will be happening here at Taylorsville as we prepare for VBC in June. There is still plenty to do as we build sets, prepare lessons, and organize to meet a new group of children and families soon. If May is any-thing like April, June will be here before you know it.
Psalm 46:10 (NIV)
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
