IMPRESSIONS OF DISTRICT CONFERENCE              

Wow!  What a great weekend of spiritual renewal.  I feel like I’ve been to the mountain! (literally—the Parkway Church in Roanoke is on the highest peak on the East end of town)  But more importantly it was a mountain peak spiritually.   Next year you have got to plan on being a part of at least the Sunday night rally.  The music, preaching and atmosphere is electric.

I was extremely proud of our delegates and representatives this year.  Both Ethelyn and Kelli did a great job sharing some of their passion for missions in the rallies.  [I don’t think anyone told Kelli there would be nearly 1000 people there when they recruited her to share her missions testimony]  But she handled it with tremendous poise.  Pam did a great job reporting as District WKFM director.

I asked Pastor Dale and our delegates to share their thoughts.

“I look forward to District Conference each year.  One because we get to see our Shenandoah Wesleyan Family.  Two, because of the dynamic worship times we share together.  The Holy Spirit ministered to us and fell upon us.  Dr. Anthony Graham BROUGHT the Word of God.  Wow!  Can he preach.  It was an amazing time of fellowship , worship and taking care of the business of the district! —Pastor Dale

“The presence of the Holy Spirit and fellowship and worship with believers from all over our district is a wonderful part of conference.  Hearing about what God is doing in our Shenandoah district, General Wesleyan Church and around the world is a blessing beyond measure.”  - Ethelyn Kilmer              

“Conference was a wonderful experience for me. It was my first chance to attend and I really learned a lot about what's going on in our district and how our church compares to the others. Worship time at the Power Rallies was amazing and I especially loved getting to know some of the delegates and pastors from the other churches. Thanks for the opportunity!” - Kelli

Hope you have a great week.

Pastor Barry
