May 2026 Message

Once again, I go back to the annual conference for the business of the church. Only this year it's a little different. This year, my ordination is finally complete. It's been a long road to this point. But now it reaches the end of a process that has taken over 10 years. I am so grateful for everyone who prayed and supported me through this process.

I know that the annual conference doesn't excite everyone, and in truth,

this year it looks to be a rather calm and sedate session. There are not many pressing issues facing the conference this year. That said, it is an important part of the church's organizational structure. And dissensions made there have a trickle-down effect on the local church. Please pray for me, Steve Iden, and everyone attending as we prepare for this year's conference. You can learn more about this year's conference session by going to https://www.bwcumc.org/events/2026-annual-conference/.

In addition, this month includes Pentecost on May 24th. It seems like this

year, a lot of the holy days sneak up on us, and Pentecost is particularly easy to forget. It's the day we mark the beginning of the church and the gift of the Holy Spirit's presence: an important occasion, but a difficult one to know how to celebrate. Perhaps one way we can prepare for Pentecost is to pray for the Spirit to guide us and wake us up to the grace of God. Perhaps God might inspire us with new ways to share the faith in Christ.

Acts 1:8 New International Version

8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and

you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and

to the ends of the earth."
