Annual Church Conference - December 2009

The Rev. Natalie Hanson, District Superintendent, presided over WUMC's annual business meeting.

Rev. Natalie Hanson's enthusiasm for the future, which includes merging six annual conferences into three, was inspiring. The evening included a relaxed sharing of information about our future as a member of the bigger conference, as well as the business matters of our congregation.

We shall not soon forget the evening's catch phrase: UpperNewYork.org. (Do check it out.)

 

Rev. Hanson was touched by the WUMC youth in attendance, reminding us they are our future. Rev. Hanson had those in attendance encircle the room and take time to look at each member in the chain, which provided a meaningful and moving close to the Charge Conference.

                                

 

 

 

 

 

Puppets Big Day!

The puppets eagerly wait to meet their adoptive families. 

During the worship services on Sunday, October 18, our new puppets finally met their new families and friends at WUMC. During the children’s message, our puppets were introduced to the families that “adopted” them, as well as the congregation. We all celebrated with “An Order of Thanksgiving for the Adoption of a Puppet.”

The puppet ministry is a great way for our children to learn, express themselves, and be part of this wonderful church. What better way to glorify God than through the heart and eye’s of a child?

We will have a new Christmas Story this year that will be told with the help of our puppets.

WUMC Youth escorted individual puppets to their adoptive families.	Many families demonstrated their anticipation by creating signs of welcome.
