2021 Conference Workbook CCONFERENCEONFERENCE WORKBOOKWORKBOOK Sandra Steiner Ball Judith M. Kenaston Resident Bishop Conference Secretary THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH WEST VIRGINIA AREA 900 WASHINGTON STREET, EAST CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA 25301 PHONE (304) 344-8330 FAX (304) 344-8330 LISA M. SHAFER ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY SANDRA L. STEINER BALL KEN KRIMMEL RESIDENT BISHOP ASSISTANT TO THE BISHOP March 31, 2021 Dear Members and Friends of the West Virginia Conference, I invite you and issue the call to meet with me for our Annual Conference session which will gather both online and in-person on the campus of West Virginia Wesleyan College in a variety of ways, June 3-6. For more information about participation online and in-person please see the conference agenda and Program Team welcome on pages 6-8 of the Conference Workbook The theme of the 2021 Annual Conference session is: Building Bridges! Bridges link otherwise impossible distances, making them an important symbol for those impossible things Christ has made possible in the last year. While these are still anxious and unknown times, we trust that God is with us on the journey - linking together where we have been and where we go next. When we build bridges, we make connections. The more connections we make with one another, our churches, and our communities, the better we can adapt to the new post pandemic world. We need ears, eyes, and hearts open to the nimble, flexible movements of the Holy Spirit to reach people for Christ in a world of constant disruption, beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. What is changing? Well, we are! Our churches continue to expand ministry in new ways reaching those who can connect online as well as in-person. Our Conference leadership continues to evolve to provide support for emerging ministries and stewardship of resources for ongoing missions. I am working with the cabinet to better balance and align the oversight of the District Superintendents. Additionally, beginning this summer I will join Bishop Moore-Koikoi as we work together as an episcopal team to provide oversight to the West Virginia, Western Pennsylvania, and Susquehanna Conferences. Indeed, God is doing new things! I pray that you participate in Conference expectantly ready and prepared to hear and experience Christ. Come clothed with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Come with the peace of Christ in your hearts. Additionally, I ask that you pray for me, that I might preside prayerfully, faithfully, and wisely in this band new format for holding our Annual Conference session. Grace and Peace, Sandra L.

  • Here When It’S Put Online Is More up to Date Than If We Were Like Other Mags That Unavoidably Have to Go to the Printers a Couple of Weeks Before Getting in the Shops
    Page 2 Welcome to the first ever edition of Piledriver Online. Some of you will already be familiar with this publication as it has previously been available at shows and on subscription but now it has a new home on the internet in full colour and I sincerely hope you all enjoy this debut edition. So what’s different about Piledriver Online? Well, using this format one main difference is that the information here when it’s put online is more up to date than if we were like other mags that unavoidably have to go to the printers a couple of weeks before getting in the shops. We also have more pages and give plenty of coverage to UK wrestling, have more news coverage, more interviews and a look back at the history of professional wrestling home and abroad. Oh and of course it’s free to read! We will soon be launching Piledriver Plus and that will give you more news, competitions and features that will not appear in the main magazine all for just ten pounds a year (current subscribers need not apply). More about that at www.pildedriver-online.co.uk soon, oh and don’t forget to join our forums and if you’re interested in advertising with us at incredibly cheap rates and in full colour just go to our website for more details. We’re just weeks away from Wrestlemania now and the card is gradually taking shape, in fact the two main title matches were confirmed even before ‘No Way Out’ took place on February 18th which isn’t always the case as that PPV usually has a match to determine who gets a title shot at Wrestlemania and it’s not that long ago since the WWE title even changed hands at that PPV when Eddie Guerrero beat Brock Lesnar.

    TNA~! created KING OF THE MOUNTAIN~! YOU~! now have to suffer because of it~! DEAN~! makes perhaps his wildest claim ever~! HARLEM BRAVADO~! is a great AMERICAN~! MR. 450~! JEFF JARRETT~! VIRUS~! KATSUHIKO NAKAJIMA~! POUNCE... PERIOD~! HYIA~! WELCOME TO DEATH VALLEY DRIVER VIDEO REVIEW ISSUE #178 As long as I can keep finding random pieces of things Dean has written floating around the internet, these will be easier to put together. Otherwise you are going to end up with an all Rippa DVDVR and I don't think you are ready for that jelly. Anyway - all of you have forgotten you have read Dean's stuff before or never bothered in the first place. Why do you hate Dean? You are the reason he cries at night. I hope you are proud of yourself. ~!~ RIPPA REVIEWS EVERY KING OF THE MOUNTAIN MATCH - 2004 ~!~ So because of another ongoing site project, I was like "God - I know one of those TNA King of the Mountain matches was good." Being old as fuck though - I couldn't remember for sure which one it was. So I decided that means I have to watch every one of them and figure it out. I also figured out that I hate myself. A lot. Most of these will end up being almost live blogging. RON KILLINGS vs. JEFF JARRETT vs. RAVEN vs. A.J. STYLES vs. CHRIS HARRIS – TNA (06/02/2004 – KING OF THE MOUNTAIN – NWA World Heavyweight Championship) (by PHIL RIPPA) https://youtu.be/GlQ-DouASRA?t=1h19m8s The video I am sharing is the entire PPV with the first King of the Mountain match on it.
