Charge Conference and Administrative Board Meeting
The regularly scheduled Administrative Council meeting will be Sunday, October 18th at 11:45am following the Praise Worship Service. We will do a hybrid meeting of in-person and Zoom. We will plan to meet in the fellowship hall with masks and social distancing.
At this meeting we will hear an update from the Building Improvement Committee regarding the updated Master Plan. In addition, since the Bishop has decided that we cannot do ChargeConference as we traditionally do Charge Conference, this meeting of the Administrative Council will be voting on all the reports typically dealt with at Charge Conference: nominations, clergy compensation, candidates for ministry, membership, budget, etc. Bishop Saenz has authorized each pastor to see that the executive committee of the Administrative Council acts on these reports and submits them to the District Superintendent by November 1st. Seward United Methodist Church will act on these at our regularly scheduled meeting of October 18th. In advance, thank you for your prayerful preparation and participation.
Please have your team/committee reports to me by next Thursday, October 15th so they may be emailed to everyone prior to the meeting. Reviewing these reports before the meeting maymake the meeting a little quicker.Thank you & see you then

Blessing of the Animals
It was a wonderful Wednesday to gather and worship outside for the blessing of the animals. Many thanks to all the people who came, around 40, and to all their furry friends. We were able to pray a blessing upon the animals and their families! What a great idea Reverend Mary Kay! Thank you to Wess and the Tech Team for setting everything up outside.
