“Come alongside your pastor,” is the plea of our NC Conference Bishop, Rev. Al Gwinn. In his address to the Conference in mid-June, the bishop reminded us that clergy persons can best fulfill their callings and serve churches when they are encouraged, prayed for and helped.
If we will be extravagant in love and generous in praise of one another, the resulting
relationship will allow room to identify challenges and develop solutions without meanness or a sense of superiority on either side. Each of us is asked to recognize that, “Part of my ministry is to minister to my pastor.”
To which I can only say, “Amen!”--Deb Taylor

Prayers, Presence, Gifts, Service & Witness
If you’ve been among the United Methodist family for long, you’ve no doubt heard about our commitment to support the church with our prayers, presence, gifts and service. As of this year, those who join the United Methodist Church promise to be faithful in their witness, too. The addition was approved by the General Conference last spring. When newcomers join the local church, all members pledge along with them. The new wording is meant to remind us of the mission and evangelistic responsibility that goes with being part of God’s community. We are not only to “show up” but to “show forth” God’s saving love. Witness has been an integral part of laity’s role from the earliest days of Methodism.
