AC 2020 wraps up!

Annual Conference setting!

Fixing appointments for 2020-2021

2020 retirees

The 2020 edition of the Mountain Sky Annual Conference is in the books and what a unique experience it was! Held virtually this year in response to the ongoing pandemic, this edition of the Annual Conference was unlike anything any of the participants could have envisioned just a few months ago.

Pastor Charles was reappointed by Bishop Oliveto to a second year as pastor of St. Paul's UMC in Boulder.

The ministries of fourteen clergy (a combined 385 years of ministry), whose retirements were accepted Friday evening by the clergy session of the Annual Conference, were celebrated on Saturday. Dr. Scott Schiesswohl was among this group of retirees.

The clergy session of the Annual Conference also approved eleven for commissioning as provisional members. Eight others were approved for ordination and full membership in the Annual Conference (ordination and commissioning service will take place at a still to-be-determined date).

Please remember in your prayers the following congregations whose closures were affirmed on Saturday: Edgewater UMC (Edgewater, CO), Rush Community UMC (Rush, CO), 

John Collins UMC (Denver, CO), and Harlowton Federated Church (Harlowton, MT).

Please remember in your prayers Culbertson UMC (Culbertson, MT) and Geraldine UMC (Geraldine, MT) whose disaffiliation petitions from The UMC were affirmed by Annual Conference action on Saturday. Also on Saturday, Sargent Community Church (Sargent, CO) ended its affiliations with the Mosca (CO) United Methodist Church and the Mountain Sky Conference.
