First Day of Committees

Today was a crazy day, spent getting all the packets together for each of the 13 Legislative Committees. There were addresses at Conference by Bishop Sharon Brown Christopher, a conference Lay Leader, a group of young people and the heads of several agencies. The best part about these addresses was the videos and stories of what churches and United Methodists are doing around the world.



Tonight we finally met with our committees - I am recorder for the Discipleship Committee. It doesn't have as many petitions as most of the committees (only about 75) although it has more members than any other committee (98). And I don't think that anything this committee deals with is controversial, so the work should go pretty smoothly. I also have a terrific person to share the recorder duties with.



Not much excitement so far, just a lot of hard work. I think that's probably a good thing.



Blessings,
