Annual Conference
June 12-14, FUMC Fort Worth
Every year the Central Texas Conference gathers with representatives of both clergy and laity. We vote on the Conference budget, hear stories of what is happening around the conference, listen to teaching and preaching, worship together, celebrate ordinations of new clergy and retirements of other clergy. This year's lay representative for Dido UMC is Lisa Mellott, our Administrative Board Chair, and, of course, Pastor Jana will be there. If you would like to attend or just listen in you are always welcome. You don't have to register, simply tune into the Central Texas Annual Conference Facebook Page where it will be live or come by the church where it's being held. You will learn a LOT about the United Methodist Church! See more information here: https://www.ctcumc.org/AC22
