The Monday Morning Quadrant Meeting at Hardy Memorial will be held as usual for the Texarkana area on Monday Jan 25. Pastors have the choice of attending either the Quadrant meeting or the workshop at Gladewater with Dr. Jerry DeSobe.
This is a follow up to last weeks post about the Dealing with Difficult Parishoners Workshop
Dr. Jerry DeSobe will be at Gladewater First UMC to present a workshop on “Dealing with Difficult Parishioners” on Monday, January 25. The time will be 10:00 am till 2 pm with a lunch. This is a free workshop with a donation accepted for lunch. This is usually the regular meeting of the Texarkana Quadrant Meeting at Hardy Memorial UMC. however, if there is more interest in meeting with Jerry DeSobe than in a regular quadrant meeting we will cancel the quadrant meeting. Those in the Texarkana Quadrant, please let the district office know of your desire. Thank you

Church from the Mt. Pleasant quadrant gathered for a training event at First Methodist Church in Pittsburg, Tx on Sunday. Photos from the event have been posted on the District Facebook Page. Please note you do not have to have a facebook account to view these photos.
The Mt. Pleasant quadrant will host leadership training on Jan 10 from 2:30-4:30 at First UMC – Pittsburg. We are hoping to have workshops for the following: lay leaders, lay leadership development, sprc, trustees, missions, finance, evangelism, christian education, children’s ministry, youth ministry, adult ministry, communications, and worship. Bill Taylor will be our speaker, and will lead the sprc workshop. And we will have copies of the UM guidelines to pass out to all the committee members present.
But here’s where I need your help:
We are trying to find the best leaders in these various committees from our district to lead the workshops. If you know someone who is doing a great job in one of these areas (or who has done a great job recently) and who could lead and inspire others, and direct one of these workshops, could you please give me names and contact info asap? You can email me at pastor@tennisonumc.org or call me at 903-563-6163.
Thanks, and have a blessed Thanksgiving!
Yours in Christ,
Chuck Huffman

The North District has been divided into four geographic quadrants; Texarkana , Marshall , Mt. Pleasant & Longview . Each of the churches in these quadrants will meet together on a quarterly basis and will form an ACTS (Area Churches Together in Service) Group. The pastor, lay leader and other lay persons from each local church should plan to attend each meeting. Each quadrant has a clergy and lay person who will co-chair the group. Their role will be to plan and facilitate each meeting and each will also serve as a member of the District Leadership Team. One thing I want to emphasize is that each of these groups will be different. They will be what you want and need them to be. Your participation and your voice are important!
