We invite you to attend the annual meeting of the United Methodist City Society on Sunday, May 20th, 2012 at the Salem United Methodist Church, 129thStreet and Adam Clayton Powell Blvd.
This annual meeting of all member churches of the City Society from the Long Island East, Long Island West, Metropolitan and the New York-Connecticut districts are entitled to a vote in conducting the business of the Society and the election of the Board of Directors for the coming year. All churches within the bounds of these districts are members of the Society.
We are conducting the meeting in a New Format, in a New Venue, With a New Spirit this year. The Theme of our meeting is from Mark 2: 21-22,
“No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old cloak; otherwise, the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and so are the skins; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins.” NRSV
Our featured speaker will be the Dr. Michael Brown, the dynamic senior pastor of the Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan.
