“To everything there is a season, And a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; ... A time to weep, and a time to laugh; … A time to be sad, and a time to dance; … A time to hug, and a time not to hug ...” — excerpt from Ecclesiastes 3
Events in the New England Conference
and Commonwealth West District
DS Megan will be taking her renewal leave this summer so she will be doing some of the One on Ones before Annual Conference. The Pastor Conversation Form (that we use as the basis of the One-on-One conversation) and a sign up genius link to register for a day and time has gone out to those who will be scheduled before annual conference. Because DS Megan can't see everyone for One on Ones prior to her renewal leave, some will be given options of a day and time in September or October rather than April or May. All clergy, whether you are United Methodist, or from another denomination serving a Federated/United Parish congregation, those in extension ministry, Certified Lay Ministers, Lay Supply Pastors, and retirees serving a local church or ministry will receive the link and email.
If you have been scheduled in April and May you should have received an email on April 12 with a Formvites link at the bottom. Please click the Formvite link so you can fill in the pastoral conversation form. It is due a week prior to your One on One. DS Megan will cancel scheduled One on Ones if she does not have the Formvite (Pastoral Conversation) by the deadline. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to CWDS@neumc.org .
On your scheduled day and time, you can join by Zoom directly from the Sign-Up Genius.
Extending the Table is an online Communion Service led by members of the Extended Cabinet held at 8 am on the first Sunday of each month. Participants do not need to register in advance.
