On Election Day, Nov. 6, elect to spend part of the day learning ways to make a lasting difference in the life of your church. The United Methodist Foundation will host the first of several collaborative stewardship educational initiatives called “Ways to Means.” The one-day event will include topics necessary to strengthen the financial base that is crucial to funding the mission and ministry of the Church into the future. This first event will be held at the Aqueduct Conference Center just outside the city of Chapel Hill from 10am-3pm. Lunch will be provided. The cost for this event is $15 per person or $10 per person for churches who have three or more attending. Registration deadline is Oct. 31. Call the UMF office to reserve your spot at 800-555-4718 or email soxendine@nccumc.org. More information can be found on the UMF website.
