Once a year, United Methodist congregations gather for their Charge Conference, the annual meeting where we celebrate what God has done among us and make decisions about the year ahead. Led by our District Superintendent, David Joyner, we will worship together, set pastoral compensation, and affirm our shared commitment to loving God and loving our neighbors through Soapstone UMC. This year, Soapstone is hosting our Charge Conference on Wednesday, October 28 at 6 pm in the Sanctuary. While only members of the Church Council serve as voting members, everyone is warmly welcome and encouraged to attend. We look forward to this gathering that reminds us of our connection to United Methodists across our district, conference, and the world.
