‘Bold’ changes proposed for church structure

By Heather Hahn*

7:00 P.M. EDT July 29, 2011 | NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS)

Members of the Connectional Table, meeting July 25-28, endorsed five proposals that would change The United Methodist Church’s structure and potentially its funding.

East Ohio Area Bishop John L. Hopkins, the Connectional Table’s chairperson, called the proposals “far-reaching.”

“What we’re trying to do is simplify the church and integrate it more,” he said.

Disability Awareness Sunday
Set For Feb 5th 2012

Paragraph 265.4 of the 2008 Book of Discipline states :
Disability Awareness Sunday shall be observed annually on a date to be determined by the annual conference. Disability Awareness Sunday calls the Church to celebrate the gifts and graces of persons with disabilities and calls the Church and society to full inclusion of persons with disabilities in the community.

In the Virginia Conference, Disability Awareness Sunday is the first Sunday in February (February 5, 2012) – without a special offering. The Conference Commission on Disabilities has developed worship materials and suggestions for disability awareness experiences that you can use on this Sunday or at any other time throughout the year. The worship materials were developed based upon the Epistle reading for Epiphany 5B which is 1 Corinthians 9:16-23. You can find the Disability Awareness Sunday packet on the Conference website under the “Disabilities” section. (click here)
