Sarah,I join the other comments in being so proud of you. When I first met you, you were a cute little young girl but I've seen you blossom into a beautiful, intelligent lady and I'm proud to call you a friend. I enjoyed reading your perspective, made me feel as though I was there. Good luck in whatever you endeavor in life, you'll do well. Much love, Gail

Dear Beka, Thanks so much for your delightful and informative report from General Conference. I could feel and see all of you there as I read your report and even feel myself there. Thank you! Keep up the good work and tell your family hello for me. We'll try and keep things going back home in Arkansas! Peace, Freddie

Beka, Arkansas is so very blessed to have you in Fort Worth sharing your insights into the proceedings of this vital church gathering. I applaud your uncanny ability to unashamedly speak the truth and interpret the legislative and political wrangling. I look forward to seeing you after I arrive on Sunday.

Sarah! Your Perspective blog is wonderful. I applaud you and your way with words! It is totally refreshing to get your insider's, first-time view of General Conference. Pace yourself, though. Don't wear yourself out the first few days. Your contribution to the Church's understanding of this massive and important gathering is awesome! Thank you! I look forward to seeing you when I arrive on Sunday.

Dr. Miles, I had to laugh as well when I saw the plenary map and the location where they placed our delegation, but oh well. Jeanne and I can't wait to make it out to conference and I hope Jeanne can meet some of her future colleagues in our great conference. You are already missed around the school but we are so happy to have someone who is pushing for the needs of young clergy. You are in our prayers. Heath

Sarah, I am glad you are representing the youth of the Arkansas Conference at General Conference and I will keep you in my prayers as you go about the daunting task of helping to write the next chapter in United Methodist history. Blessings to you, Rod Hocott

Vital Signs

It would be wonderful if people (like me) who lose things had to make an account in order to pay for and schedule things like Vital Signs so that we could log back into our accounts and re-print our own personal agendas (what we had picked to go to for classes etc. Thanks, Allen

What are the recommended ages for "Youth?" Is that 7th grade and up or is it only senior high 10th to 12th grade?

2008 Organ Benefit Concert

Richard Butler wrote on 3/3/2008 1:57:03 PM

It is thrilling to learn that this event will combine a pipe organ recital by such an outstanding artist as Jonathan Story with a good cause: saving one of the most historically significant churches in Arkansas. I commend all those who planned it.

CIC Team Training

I'm a UM pastor from the Alabama-West Florida Conference looking for CEU opportunities in Arkansas so that I can get the continuing education and have the opportunity to visit two of my children who live there. Sometimes your calendar has listings that don't give discriptions that outsiders can interpret. So this is a suggestion to be more descriptive and inclusive. Thanks!

In researching info on the UMW AR Conference meeting in Jacksonville Nov.10 I find no time, nor Church address. I would be glad to help the Conf. post more information on meetings which involve so many ladies. Let's hope no one misses the meeting for lack of details. God Bless each.
