Seward United Methodist Church News Stream October 11th Charge Conference and Administrative Board Meeting The regularly scheduled Administrative Council meeting will be Sunday, October 18th at 11:45am following the Praise Worship Service. We will do a hybrid meeting of in-person and Zoom. We will plan to meet in the fellowship hall with masks and social distancing. At this meeting we will hear an update from the Building Improvement Committee regarding the updated Master Plan. In addition, since the Bishop has decided that we cannot do Charge Conference as we traditionally do Charge Conference, this meeting of the Administrative Council will be voting on all the reports typically dealt with at Charge Conference: nominations, clergy compensation, candidates for ministry, membership, budget, etc. Bishop Saenz has authorized each pastor to see that the executive committee of the Administrative Council acts on these reports and submits them to the District Superintendent by November 1st. Seward United Methodist Church will act on these at our regularly scheduled meeting of October 18th. In advance, thank you for your prayerful preparation and participation. Please have your team/committee reports to me by next Thursday, October 15th so they may be emailed to everyone prior to the meeting. Reviewing these reports before the meeting may make the meeting a little quicker. Thank you & see you then Shelley Lorenz Office Administrator/Treasurer Crop Walk Wrap Up Many thanks to all who walked this year in our "virtual walk"... some walked alone, some walked in small groups, and some walked with a doggie! We appreciate the cool video commercials from the Broderick Family for worship and also those who gave generously. We will continue to gather funds for Crop Walk through next Sunday. Thank you!!!
