Be relentlessly committed to the mission. Don Woolley
Working theme for UMC 2012 General Conference in Tampa, FL: Dicipleship by the Sea. (Not yet approved by Council of Bishops)

What are your gifts? What is your passion? Practice it...use it to the utmost. Sandy Jackson
Church as we have it now is largely NOT set up to make people more like Jesus. Scott Kisker
I am really enjoying this...it sounds like it was a fantastic conference with a real focus on faithful ministry. Good stuff!
