Dear friends,
There is a great learning opportunity coming up soon. It will be right here in our district. It is the Ministry Academy designed for those wanting to grow in their ability to serve Christ and his people through the UMC. It will be of interest to some older youth, young adults, lay ministers, lay speakers, local pastors and others you might identify in your sphere of influence. We hope you can come and bring some of your friends with you.
See the enclosed flyer and bulletin insert draft for your use with all the details.
If this works for your schedule I will hope to see you there.
