Church-Wide
Crucial Conversation Update:
A Way Forward 

Wednesday October 10th 
6:15 – 7:30 p.m.
Fellowship Hall

The United Methodist Church is having important discussions about the Book of Discipline and certain stances on human sexuality and the church. SUMC’s All Are Welcome Group will host an “informational” session so our church family can understand what is happening within the global UMC. One important note: a decision will likely be made at a special session of the General Conference in February 2019 as to how the UMC will move forward; that decision will impact all United Methodist churches.
