A message from our District Superintendents...
The 2015 Penn Jersey District Conference is fast approaching!
This year’s dates are Wednesday and Thursday, June 10 and 11.
Our pastors and delegates will gather in Allentown, PA to do the
important work of the district. We will celebrate what God has
done this past year through our churches and recommit to the
Lord as we press on and reach more people with Christ’s love and
forgiveness.
We are blessed to have Dr. Bud Bence with us at Wednesday’s
banquet to share his acclaimed one-man drama of Luther Lee,
one of our Wesleyan founders. As we listen to words from one of
the “great cloud of witnesses” may we ready ourselves to be
inspired to lock arms together once again as a district family,
united in heart and soul. You are ALL appreciated and we know
you are committed to being “guest ready and God-ready” for the
sake of His Kingdom.
Dr. Karl and Pastor Anita
