Here's the wrap-up of the legislation that we passed during the 2023 Annual Conference. Resolutions oppose assault-style weapons, address Israeli detention of children, and support a U.S. Regional Conference and removal of discriminatory policies. minnesotaumc.org/newsdetail/…

Eaves believes we can listen deeply to our scriptures, and we can also be a church that is working for the liberation of our LGBTQ neighbors. We can put our full trust in Jesus, and stand up against injustice and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves.

We have 54 elders, deacons and local pastors retiring this year in the Great Plains Annual Conference. Three times more retirements than new elders and deacons being ordained. This is a trend that signals a coming clergy shortage already seen in many conferences.

Saying that it's "not the right time" to talk about #guncontrol after a mass shooting...
is like saying it's not right to talk about train safety after a deadly train wreck.

God, comfort those who lost loved ones in the Las Vegas shootings. Heal the hurt. Guide those offering aid. Make us instruments of peace.
