UMC Bishop Visits

Yesterday, Bishop Mike Coyner of the Indiana Conference of the United Methodist Church was on campus to visit with retired pastors and their spouses of the Central Indiana District.

The gathering was hosted by FUMC with board members Rev. Bob Coleman and Rev. Bert Kite facilitating the greeting, meeting, presentation by the Bishop, and fellowship time for about 50 persons.

Bishop Mike reminded the retired pastors that it is a difficult time for anyone to be in ministry and although their active days in the local church have gone before them, there is still much to do. He encouraged those in attendance to stay engaged and pray, encourage, and mentor other young persons entering and serving in Christian ministry.

Pastors and their spouses will return to the Community Center of our campus on December 6, 2010 for their annual Christmas Luncheon hosted by the District.
