Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
What a joy to see so many of you attending our meeting last Sunday evening to hear the report from our What’s Happening in the UMC Task Force. It is clear this is a church body that loves Jesus, one another and the work we do together, deepening our walk with the Lord to make disciples for Jesus Christ in our community and beyond.
After receiving the report from the task force the Church Council voted to continue the conversation in a time of discernment and prayer so the entire church body can be involved in the discussion and decision. This time of discernment will last a couple of months and involve full church meetings, town halls, and round table discussions as we talk through together the most faithful future for LHUMC. The entire church body will be involved in the decision to remain in the UMC or to leave the UMC.
When we have a schedule for the Discernment process, we will communicate that to the church body. Below, you will find links to the PowerPoint presentation and the full report from the task force, as well as Q & A from questions received that night from those attending.
Please continue to cover LHUMC in prayer as we navigate this journey together.
“Your strong love for each other will prove to
the world that you are my disciples.”
John 13:35 TLB
In Christ,
