Joint CTC & NTC Clergy Gathering

REGISTRATION CLOSED FRIDAY, JAN. 20

Bishop Saenz has announced a joint gathering of the Central Texas and North Texas Conferences’ clergy for Jan. 26. All CTC and NTC United Methodist Clergy are invited and highly encouraged to attend the gathering. The Walking Forward Together clergy event will be hosted at First Arlington United Methodist Church (313 N. Center Street, Arlington, TX 76011) from 9:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. There is a $20 registration fee for this event to help defray facility costs, materials and lunch. Please register by the close of business Friday, Jan. 20.
 
Retired United Methodist Clergy are most welcome and encouraged to attend. When registering, click on the district in which you currently serve/worship and then type "Retired" in the Church or Ministry box.
 
This time is primarily designed to bring the clergy of our conferences together to get better acquainted and aligned with Bishop Saenz and each other. Expect to hear Bishop Saenz share a vision for how we will move forward as United Methodists in our mission of making disciples for the transformation of the world, explore what it means for our two conferences to be served by the same bishop and much more.
