Paul Behrens Service

Pastor’s Ponderings
Paul Behrens

Dear Glen Mar,
We had taken advantage of the fact that Laity Sunday coincided with RIT’s Parent’s Weekend to go see Lydia this weekend, are driving home today from there. I’m eager to get back to MD to be with you all. As one of your pastors, it feels wrong to be away from our church family when things happen. I’m gratified and humbled by the powerful worship and care you all showed for one another, and for Pastor Melaina’s leadership at a time when I wanted deeply to be there “in person” with you.
I wanted to let you all know that we will be having a visitation for Paul Behrens at Glen Mar on Friday evening, 10/22, from 6-8 pm and the service on Saturday 10/23 at 11, with visitation beforehand from 9:30-11 am. There will be no food afterwards so that people may remain masked and COVID safe.

Charge Conference

SAVE THE DATE!
Sunday, October 17, from 1:30 – 3:00 pm via Zoom
The charge conference is the basic governing body of the local United Methodist Church. It is the “business meeting” of the church. It connects the local church to the general Church. Charge conferences must be held at least once per year. It is made up of all of the members of the church council and all members have the right to vote. The primary role of the charge conference is to review and assess the mission and ministries of the church. This includes recommending and/or affirming candidates for ordination, evaluating pastor compensation packages, and overall ministries of the church. The district superintendent or designated elder presides at the meeting.
