Where Does Our Money Go… 1st Quarter Apportionments are paid in full. We continue into the 2nd Quarter where we focus on paying for Mission, Service, Jus-tice and Connectional Ministries as well as Conference Admin-istration. These ministries help lead people to actively follow Je-sus, operating our Churches in a safe and orderly way, and in helping run the business of our Conference. We can live the life that God wants for us by extending help and hospitality to others. Apportionments enable us to help fulfill these Ministries to others.

We can practice a way of living that is in harmony with the life of Jesus and help us survive, and yes, even thrive in today’s world. It is a challenge to try to meet all these needs, but it is also rewarding. With God’s help, we can live life fully, faith-fully, and joyfully as we help others to do the same. Please give generously!
