@th8rshoes @Chafinhofer @mndaln Did we present the budget?

[Jim Smith @SmithGym]

@Chafinhofer @PaulaLevesque87 It’s lower attendance. Don’t have the numbers.

[Jim Smith @SmithGym]

@wvublamb @laaaurenwright Or all working laity

[Jim Smith @SmithGym]

@Chafinhofer They have been here all conference. They have been a distraction in worship and holy conferencing. They could provide security without being a distraction. #vaumc22

@bsbachra @pattimoney If they cannot find someone to preach…sounds like a discipleship problem. #methodismAlwaysHadLaySpeakers

@pattimoney We also need to reassess conference convening Thursday, Friday, Saturday. This practice is disadvantageous to laity - especially young adults in addition to youth.
