Annual Conference - Wednesday

The annual conference kicked off this morning in Lincoln with meetings in the morning, worship in the afternoon and more meetings into the early evening! The theme of this year's gathering is "Radical Hospitality," taken from the six signs of discipleship. Rilla Draper (the church's lay member to the annual conference), Pastor Charles and Belinda Alkula are attending this year's event which continues through Saturday.

Among those greeted today were former FUMC pastors Alan Davis and Karl Lent and incoming pastor, Tom Hyde. Abbi Rosenbaum, representing FUMC at the youth annual conference, was also spotted this morning, and we hope to get a picture of her on the blog before week's end.

It is a wonderful experience, annual conference, and it is something that every church member should take in at least once!
