Among the legion of other things that the current pandemic has changed, we can now add the annual church conference for United Methodist churches.  Church conference? Not familiar with it? Well, it is basically the same as what we call charge conferences? Still unsure? Here’s the basic gist. This is an annual meeting of the local church to decide things such as church leadership for the next year, membership reports, certified lay speakers, candidates for ministry, and the pastor’s compensation for the upcoming year. Every professing member of Hollywood UMC is invited to attend such a meeting. For the first time ever, our church conference will be done through the magic of Zoom. Our church conference will be held on Sunday, November 22 @ 1:00 PM. Here is the registration link, which is required to be completed in order to attend.

Not sure if you’re a professing member? Have questions about the work of the church conference? Curious about leadership in the church? Call/email Pastor Matthew, and he would be ecstatic to answer any and all questions.
