What's Going on in the United Methodist Church?
Annual Conference Scheduled for Saturday, October 3
The pandemic has shut down every major gathering on our radar this spring and summer, including the global and regional gatherings of the United Methodist Church. These gatherings have been especially newsworthy given a possible vote on a division of the church.
The General Conference, a gathering of Methodists that meets every four years, is the only body that is able to make policy for the church. This meeting has been postponed until August 2021.
The Annual Conference, a yearly gathering of Methodists in our area, was set to take place over several days in June, but will now be a one-day virtual gathering on Saturday, October 3. Our pastor and delegate Sean Claes will represent KUMC and the public may observe. A clergy session was held in June and the conference reappointed Pastor Stella to KUMC for another year.

Hi Church,
We are considering adding another Blessings Box on the East side of I-35 near Fuentes Elementary. This came up as a request from a couple of people in the community, and I'm trying to gauge interest.
While the intent is for the community to help stock it as well as take what they need from it, we know that in the beginning it will need the support of the church to help keep it stocked. This doesn't mean bringing food to the church; rather, we prefer that if you're interested in supporting this, you put food directly into the Blessings Box.
Before we go through finding a place and getting it built, I'd like to see who would contribute. If you are on the East side of 35 and would like to commit to stocking the Blessings Box once or twice a month, please let me know.
This is not something we're committing to yet. Before we commit, I'd like to make sure we'll have enough participation to keep it afloat. If you'd like to be a part of this, please just let me know at
shannontaylor0924@gmail.com.
Thank you! ~ Shannon Taylor
