Bishop Ward talks about the Council of Bishops
Bishop Ward discusses her meeting this week with the Council of Bishops in her latest Connections.

Introductory Sessions to Explain Insurance Proposal
The Conference Board of Pension and Insurance Committee are proposing changes to the retiree health care plan at Annual Conference in June. These changes will be effective January 1, 2014. Informational sessions will be held in each district to provide opportunity to give an overview of the changes being proposed and to answer questions on the proposal. Dates are posted on the District website. The same information will be shared at all sessions, so choose the one that works best for your schedule. All clergy and lay members of annual conference are invited to these sessions to learn about this proposal, but retirees, widow/ers and clergy approaching retirement age are specifically encouraged to attend.

Stop Hunger Now Packaging at 2013 Annual Conference
Stop Hunger Now’s meal packaging program is a volunteer-based effort to package highly nutritious dehydrated meals which are easily transported to crisis-burdened areas or to school feeding programs around the world. This year, persons attending Annual Conference are invited to help meet the challenge to package 100,000 meals during the three-day conference in Greenville – a goal which has been established by Bishop Hope Morgan Ward. To meet the goal, we need two things: volunteers to package the meals and donations of $.25 per meal. To accomplish the goal, we would need several hundred volunteers and $25,000 of donations. You do not need to be a delegate to Annual Conference to come and join us for this exciting event. To read more about this initiative or to register as an individual or as a group, go to Stop Hunger Now AC.

Have You Introduced Your Congregation to Chuck?
“Chuck Knows Church” is a weekly online video series, produced and shared by The General Board of Discipleship. Chuck is now on his 28th episode – Ushers. Use each episode in worship, youth groups, fellowship groups, confirmation classes, worship teams, and new member classes to answer questions about the church that people may be too shy to ask! Follow Chuck on the website: www.ChuckKnowsChurch.com, on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/ChuckKnowsChurch or on Twitter: @ChuckKnows.
