March 2, 2010

New date for Clergy Executive Session
The 2010 Clergy Session of the North Carolina Annual Conference will be held on Friday, May 14 at First UMC, 100 S. Church Street in Rocky Mount. The session is scheduled to last from 10 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. The decision to separate the clergy session from the opening day of annual conference was made by the annual conference planning team after surveying the clergy members. The discussion for this began while trying to decide how to adjust this year’s schedule given that annual conference will be one day shorter. The only order of the day on May 14 will be the clergy session. While lunch will not be provided, the hope is that colleagues will take advantage of this time to visit with one another, pray for one another and share lunch together without having to hurry in order to get to the opening session of annual conference.

Retirement Seminar Registration Filling Fast
Register now for the upcoming Conference Board of Pension’s Pre-Retirement Planning Seminar on April 29-30 to be held at the Riverside Hilton hotel in Wilmington, NC.

United Methodists asked to participate in socially responsible investing survey
United Methodists are invited to participate in an online survey about socially responsible investing. The 2008 General Conference established a task force to develop a common standard for determining investments to be avoided and those considered to have a positive social impact. General Conference decreed that the standard should be consistent with the United Methodist Social Principles. The task force developed a brief survey regarding investing practices and standards. It is being handled through a secure server to ensure confidentiality of information. To access the survey, go to Socially Responsible Investing. Deadline to fill out the survey is March 10.
