The New Mexico Conference and the North-West Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church held a joint-annual conference June 2-6th, 2008 at the Glorieta Conference Center in Glorieta, NM. The conference included a series of committee meetings and reports, business sessions, worship and special worship services. The budget was passed, the importance of shared ministries was discussed and the ‘conference structure change’ passed with some discussion/debate.
Although the New Mexico Conference is among the smaller of the annual conferences within the United Methodist connection, we certainly have a presence and an opinion. We are a unique crew who are dedicated and truly care about the people in our pews and in our communities. This is my home, the place I find solitude and support, and I am grateful for all that it continues to provide for me, my family and my community.
General & Personal Highlights of the Conference:
- Inspirational preaching from conference pastor Rev. Tyrone Gordon (I was encouraged by every word!)
- Catching up with friends from around the conference (…and having grown up in the conference, I have many friends, new and old, within the conference!)
- Nothing But Nets recognition/money raised
- Conference Mission Project focus: Four Corners Ministries
- Ordination of personal friends Rev. Jeb Archey and Rev. David Whitman
‘Until we meet again…’
Many Blessings,
