Merry Christmas!
“Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
late in time behold him come,
offspring of the Virgin's womb:
veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
hail th'incarnate Deity,
pleased with us in flesh to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel.”
Shoutout to @ConnectNGUMC for freezing our assets and suspending our committees at Griffin 1st out of their “love for us” and in the “spirit of reconciliation” per the letter from our DS.
4 denied after various arguments: Fountain at Sugarloaf, McEachern, Rome Trinity, Griffin 1st.
Two rulings requested, one of which is what constitutes 50+1 in Roberts’ Rules. Trinity Rome was said to have not met that threshold. Bishop said she will take up to 30 days.
Griffin First #UMC voted to disaffiliate from the UMC tonight. Please pray for all in our congregation - those happy, those sad, those confused, those angry, those elated.
🧵 We should be able to be kind to one another even if we disagree. I pray on the other side of #umc separation we can all be good ecumenical colleagues. Separation is necessary for us all to serve Jesus as we understand him/his call. But we don’t have to be jerks.
