Texarkana Quadrant ACTS Group Offers Stewardship Workshop

Date : Sat., April 24

Time: 10-11:30AM

Location: Hardy UMC, Texarkana, Tx

Leader: The Rev. Melvin Amerson of the Texas Methodist Foundation in Austin, Texas. Rev. Amerson is the author of several books on generosity, served on the Boards of Ordained ministry, Wesley Foundation, Evangelism and chaired the Extravagant Generosity Ministry of the Texas Annual Conference.

Rev. Emerson will speak on “Developing a Culture of Generosity” and “Celebrating the Offering”. Though yearly stewardship campaigns are effective, he speaks towards establishing a daily/weekly life of personal giving for your church congregations. He conducts a fun and interesting workshop; pastors and laity will greatly benefit. Make plans to attend this great opportunity. He will also be available for personal consultations after the workshop (call A. Rohde in Longview).

Mt. Pleasant Quadrant is Looking For Leaders

Webminister — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:56:44 +0000

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

What is A.C.T.S.?

Webminister — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 05:40:36 +0000

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!
