The Elevate Team to lead Opening Worship at this year’s Annual Conference on Wednesday, June 5 at 7 p.m. in the Selena Auditorium. Pat and Michelle Carey have served on the Annual Conference Planning Team since last Fall. The Elevate was invited by our Bishop Robert Schnase to lead worship music at Annual Conference after they led worship for the UM General Commis-sion on the Status and Role Of Women’s “Do No Harm” Conference last September. We are so thrilled for this opportunity for the Elevate Team and for our church. Please pray they will have a safe trip as they travel to Corpus Christi, Texas. The 2019 Spring Tea was a success. Thank you to our table hostesses and especially to Karen Burgamy for the amazing delicacies! Special thanks to Rev. Shirley Hill for bringing the message to all who were there. Hope to share a spot of tea again in winter.
