We will gather in person at Davis United Methodist Church (1620 Anderson Road Davis, CA) for our annual Charge Conference on Sunday, December 3.
The charge conference is an annual meeting required for all United Methodist Churches and we’ll gather jointly this year with Davis UMC.
We’ll begin with pop-up Advent worship in the Sanctuary led by The Table at 5pm. Following worship, we’ll move to the Walker Room to celebrate our ministries in 2023 and also look ahead to our ministry vision for 2024.
