The Discernment Team has met four times since forming in mid-October. The last meeting was held on November 16th at 6pm.
At the last two meetings, the team listed all the available options available to Wilmore UMC. The options fall under two main categories: 1) Remain a United Methodist Church; and 2) Disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church. There are a variety of options that fall under these two main categories and the team is working to gather the information necessary in order to filter through those options.
In the weeks ahead, the team will also be asking for your feedback through a survey. It is important to the team that they represent the heart of the congregation as they discern through the available options. Be on the lookout for that survey sometime in December.
As a reminder, the Discernment Team members are Sheila Lovell, Matt Hadley (Lay Leader), Andrew Baker, Kim Sayre, Susan Brabon, Mel Noah, Jay Endicott, and Pastor D. Merricks (ex-officio).
Please continue to pray for this team, their work of discernment, and our church. The next meetings are scheduled for Wednesday, December 7th and Wednesday, December 14th.
