Thank you!
Holy Covenant members and friends, today was a holy day! I was surrounded by the sustaining work of the Holy Spirit and the uplifting prayers of each of you. At the end of what seemed to be an extended deliberation, the Board of Ordained Ministry congratulated me and has affirmed my call to ministry.
Thank you all for your encouragement and support during this time in my journey.
God bless each of you.
Shalom,
Cassie

Building our Adult Education Library |
|
 Sometimes classes purchase individual books for members to use during a particular study. If you would like to donate your book to the Adult Education Library, I would encourage you to do so. I will be collecting participant guides into sets making them available for other classes to study as well. Book sets will be kept in my office and groups will check them out and return following their use. We will put one copy in the open library in Room 211. Please consider contributing to this library.

Rev. Debbie Chapman elected delegate to Jurisdictional Conference in 2012
At the North Texas Conference Annual Conference meeting this past week (June 6 and 7), Rev. Debbie Chapman was elected to Jurisdictional Conference to be held in Oklahoma City, July 18-22, 2012. States in our Jurisdiction are Nebraska, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Missouri. The Jurisdictional Conference meeting agenda is primarily to choose new Bishops and enact legislation put forth at General Conference. Debbie is a part of the North Texas delegation (one of 12 clergy elected along with 3 alternates), which means she will also attend General Conference in Tampa for two weeks, April 24 – May 4, 2012. The General Conference includes United Methodists from all over the world and is the body that amends our Book of Discipline. According to Mary Mitchell Trimble, Debbie is the first person from Holy Covenant to be elected to serve in this way while serving Holy Covenant. We do have past clergy that have served on the delegation, including Kathleen Baskin Ball, who served as chair of the delegation in 2008, Pat Beghtel Mahle and Bishop Scott Jones. In addition, it was a pleasant surprise that two Deacons got on the delegation, a first for our Conference!
Debbie is in awe, very excited, and humbled to be elected by the clergy of the North Texas Conference. The North Texas delegation does not go along for the ride. They are known for making a difference at General Conference. She covets your prayers and is proud to represent Holy Covenant in this way. |
