We are very excited to have Doug Anderson, lecturer and author, return this year to teach on Post-modernism on Friday and “Leading Change” on Saturday. Doug brought us a great presentation last year and this year should be no exception. To sweeten the deal, we are in the process of applying this event to count towards continuing education requirements. The seminars will run 9:30am- 4pm both days. The cost is $30 for one day or $50 for both days, which includes lunch. With every two paid registrations you receive one free registration. Two for the price of three, so bring a friend, or two! You won’t want to miss out- Reserve your spot today! Call or email us in the District office.
Hope to receive your reservations quickly!
Blessings,
Mariah

Hello Pastors and Lay Members,
In case you needed further encouragement to invite your Lay Leaders to come to the Laity Luncheon this Saturday, here are a few more details:
As we have stated before, the theme for the luncheon is “Re-Think Church,” which will be presented by Jim Luther, Pastor in Salinas, Ann Scott, Lay member from Wesely Bakersfield, as well as Glenn Pack from Trinity Bakersfield. These leaders are excited to share how they “re-thought” church and created innovative ideas and programs that have helped transform their congregations and their communities.
Jim Luther has started numerous community outreach programs at the church in Salinas where lower-income individuals and families can receive food, medical care, and dental care. Jim has invited anyone who wishes, to bring a coffee mug to the luncheon. This mug will contribute in a small way towards the Salinas community outreach.
We are still taking reservations for the luncheon, so if you have not yet signed up, please do so quickly. Again this is the Lay Leadership Luncheon, Saturday, Sept 19th, 10:30-2 pm at Fresno Wesley UMC.
Thanks again, Mariah |
