Questions: "How many United Methodists does it take to change a light bulb?"
Answer: "Change?!!! United Methodist don't do Change!"
Sorry. I know you've probably heard that joke a million times and don't like the punchline any better than I do. We United Methodists aren't as "change-averse" as it suggests. At least not United Methodists in the Upper New York Area! Right?
One thing is for sure - we United Methodists in Upper New York are about to experience a lot of change: New Conference, New Area, New Era. God is about to do a new thing among us.
And its going to take a whole bunch of United Methodists to help make this change. That's why the Interim Leadership (i.e, Nominations) Planning Team just issued a call for leaders from across the region to submit their names for possible leadership positions. This team has been asked to recruit hundreds of United Methodists from across Upper New York to work on the various new conference teams, committees and boards.
They are looking for you.
Now, before you click on to another site, stay with me for just a few more lines. I promise not to lay on the guilt about how much the new conference needs people like you to volunteer your time and talent. That's a true statement, but I'm not going to go there.
Instead, I want to invite you to consider what leadership in our new conference might bring into your life. I want you to wonder and ponder if God is seeking to bless you by calling you to serve in this way.
As I page through the Bible and consider the stories of people like Abraham and Sarah, David and Jeremiah, and Mary and Peter, the pattern becomes pretty clear: God blesses us by making us a blessing to others. A double blessing, in other words.
Would you prayerfully consider if one of the ways God is seeking to achieve this double blessing in your life is through following this link?
