UMC ANNUAL CONFERENCE UPDATE

The Mississippi United Methodist Annual Conference met in Jackson on June 5-8. At this meeting our church was

named the East Jackson District Church of the Year! David Stotts, one of our church members, was the first Lay Per-

son to be elected as a Lay Delegate to the 2020 General Conference, too! The Annual Conference presented a check

for $1,000,000 to the endowment of Africa University and we additionally announced that the Mississippi Confer-

ence had raised $600,000 for “Imagine No Malaria”, which will provide mosquito nets to provide protection for

60,000 people. Those in attendance also packed 15,000 Health Kits for various needs throughout Mississippi. Spe-

cial thanks go to our Lay Delegates, Rodger Wasson, Cary Breedlove and Bob Hughes, and to our church members

chosen to be Equalizing Delegates, Kathryn Scoggins and Pat McNulty.
