One of my favorite things about being a United Methodist is the experience of Annual Conference each year. It is usually a time of spirit-filled worship, a time of renewing old friendships with United Methodists from other parts of the Conference, and of course it is also a time for conducting the important business of the Church. This weekend I will join with hundreds of other clergy and lay delegates who are gathering virtually for the Florida Annual Conference. As with last year, with this Annual Conference being virtual we will miss out on some of the benefits of being in the same room, but I am nonetheless excited about the work we will undertake together.

At Annual Conference, we delegates and clergy play our part in business that has an impact much further beyond the Conference itself. We engage in work that will make a difference on the local church level. We will celebrate the work of local churches in the last year – most of it undertaken by lay people giving of themselves in amazing and sacrificial ways. We will also remember the names and ministries of clergy who have died in the last year, we will honor clergy who are retiring, and we will commission and ordain new clergy too. It is important, exciting work, and it is absolutely part of the work of joining in with what God is doing in and through the Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church in these days. That’s why your prayerful support for our Conference gathering this weekend is so important.

Please keep the Annual Conference in your prayers this weekend as we gather for this important work once more.

Blessings,
Pastor Charlie
