Meeting To Be Held At Bishop’s Request

Bishop Charles Crutchfield established the Imagine Ministry Team following the 2009 Annual Conference to study, reflect, envision and imagine what the ministry of The United Methodist Church in Arkansas should endeavor to be in the coming years. Every United Methodist Church in Arkansas is expected to participate in discussion on a local level regarding the [...]

Constant State of Flux

It seems to me that our society is in a constant state of flux. So little satisfies us. We constantly want something more or at least something different. And then would you believe that we reach a time when we find we want what we once had? I speak from experience here. Allow me to explain. In 1970 Aline and [...]

Lent Already?

Well, here we are in February. Some people are already shopping for Christmas! I’m just trying my best to accomplish today’s tasks. I have been working feverishly at getting my house organized. Actually I am doing pretty well. I am thinning out and making some difficult decisions, hoping that the end product will be desirable. [...]

Almost gone?

Report to the 2009 Charge Conference

This last year has been a difficult year. My home situation is now at the point that Aline can not be left alone, but with the help of Hospice and good and faithful volunteers I am able to carry on with my ministry. This is not a year for impressive statistics. We have not received [...]

You are asked to bring your card forward during the last song at the New Song Service. There will be extra cards available [...]

Thank You

Yesterday was truly a wonderful day in spite of the rain. Aline was able to come to the reception, the first time she has been out of the house since July the 5th. She will probably spend most of this week in bed but she was determined to be there. Friends from former churches came [...]
