Golf Outing slated Sept. 10
The Annual Arnold Eddy Memorial Golf Outing will be Sept. 10 at the Tygart Lake Public Golf Course, Grafton. It is sponsored by the Mon Valley and W.Va. United Methodist Men. The outing raises funds for the Circuit Rider, an annual gathering that draws more than 400 scouts and adult leaders to Jackson’s Mill for a weekend of camping and wholesome activities. Thanks to your support, the weekend costs Scouts nothing except transportation and several meals. The early bird registration deadline in Aug. 20th.

The West Virginia Lay Ministry Team and the Congregational Vitality Team are excited to offer a unique opportunity for pastors and laity leaders in our Conference to learn from and interact with two very influential ministry leaders. Kay Kotan – founder of You Unlimited and Impressions Unlimited, who is a professionally credentialed coach, consultant, speaker, and author of more than a dozen books and Jason Moore – founder of Midnight Oil Productions, who is a speaker, consultant, author, and media expert, are teaming up to bring us the Set in Motion Webinars. We are offering a series of five webinars over the next few months called Set in Motion: Leading Through the Post-Pandemic Domino Effect. These sessions, when taken together, will equip laity and clergy throughout our Conference to take the transformational power of Jesus Christ out into our communities.
