MEETING SITE TO BE ANNOUNCED BY CLERGY COORDINATORS It is time for our cluster groups to meet again. The first meetings were a good beginning of this communication/fellowship model of ministry. The agenda will be as follows: 6:30-7:00 gathering, welcome, worship/devotional/communion. 7:00-7:40 meeting in the twelve cluster groups to share and to be informed. 7:40-8:00 light refreshments and fellowship (Some have asked about light refreshments. OK.) This time the clergy coordinators will have a handout for each group to guide your time of interaction around your ministry. If there are questions, resourcing, or expertise needed to help in your local ministries, this is the time to register those needs with the facilitator (small group's secretary) so it can be passed on to the district Leadership Team before they meet on 1 st Thursday in November. *Whoever takes the minutes is responsible for getting them to their District Facilitator listed below. It is vital that these minutes get into the right hands. Clergy Coordinators in some clusters have given the 11 small group facilitators an addressed, stamped envelope for mailing the minutes. Do what is necessary to get our district this vital information. Ministry Area Facilitator Contact Information Clergy/SPRC Rev.

The domain name is You are invited to visit the website for district news, the district calendar, charge conference dates and the new Discipleship Form. New Discipleship Form Due 5 th of Each Month In previous years, each district had an evangelism form and clergy were required to complete this form as instructed by their district office.

All clergy under appointment are now required to complete a Discipleship Form each month. Here are some important details: To complete the Discipleship Form go to your district website. Instructions for completing the Discipleship Form have been sent to each minister. The Discipleship Form is due on the 5 th of each month.
