General Conference
In February 2019, hundreds of delegates will converge on St. Louis, MO, for a Special Called Session of the General Conference. They will seek a way forward on the issues surrounding LBGTQ persons.
Bishop David Bard has traveled the state conducting listening sessions related to this Special Called Session of
the General Conference. Follow this link https://michiganumc.org/resources/a-way-forward/ to a video
(Finding Our Way Forward) from Bishop David, as well as a toolbox of resources to help us
better understand the questions United Methodists face and the possible solutions.
As Bishop David stated recently, "While most of us like to think of the opinions we hold as well-supported, well-considered and well-argued, we would also do well to
acknowledge that in many of the most important things we think about, there is always room for growth and new
learning. Often well-considered, well-supported and well-argued opinions become so through shared conversation and dialogue. We should, then, be people who are open to new ideas, to new ways of looking at our lives and our faith, open to conversation and dialogue." In that spirit, Bishop David invites you into a continuing dialog.

Upcoming Adult Education Opportunities
A small group study connecting Christ and culture Matt Rawle is on a mission. He sees Christ all around him: in books, movies, TV shows, rock music, and he wants to share what he sees. In The Faith of a Mockingbird, based on Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, pastor and author Matt Rawle uses Lee's beloved characters to explore
Christian faith, theology, and ethics.
Max Plank will lead this four-week study considering God's world and what it all means. This class will begin
January 9th from 6-7:30 p.m. You may contact Max Plank for additional information max.plank@sbcglobal.net

Bible study: The Acts of the Apostles
The New Testament book of Acts is an exciting read, tracing the story of the Christian movement from the
resurrection of Jesus through the missionary work of the apostle Paul. As we strive to touch the lives of more people and to increase our health and vitality as a
congregation, this study will offer insight and inspiration. Join Pastor Joy and other leaders for an 8-week journey
with this important book within the Bible. Thursday evenings, 6:30-8 p.m. beginning January 17th.
Holy Contradictions: What’s Next for the
People Called United Methodists Ron Mourad will lead a series of conversations based on several essays from a book entitled Holy Contradictions.
Each essay was written with this question in mind: How might United Methodists bear witness to graceful and mutually respectful ways of living in the Wesleyan tradition amid
enduring disagreements about same-gender relationships and related church practices? The variety of authors offer
perspectives that both challenge and reinforce our ways of thinking. This group will gather Sunday afternoons from 4-5:30 p.m., beginning Sunday, January 20th
and ending February 10th. You may contact Ron rmourad@albion.edu
for additional information.

The Children's Mission Ministry Team is excited for the second year of its "Soul Food" community service event scheduled for
Sunday, Jan. 13th from 11 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.

anonymous meal of baked ziti, salad, rolls, and cookies that the children will make and hand-deliver. To help us pull this off, we are asking for the congregation's support of food item
donations and nominees for meal recipients.
Please sign up to donate food items by clicking this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0c4aa8ad2ca3fb6-soul and email Katie Giardello - giardello.2@gmail.com if you'd like
to nominate someone to receive some soul food!
