  • Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church 2012 Pre-Conference Journal
    Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church 2012 Pre-Conference Journal 1 Dear Member of the Texas Annual Conference, Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. On behalf of the Annual Conference planning team, the staff and elected leaders, I am delighted to welcome you to the 2012 session of the Texas Annual Conference. It is always a joy to come together to pray, worship, fellowship and confer about the future of the church. The conference theme this year is “On earth as it is in heaven.” You will recognize those familiar words from the prayer that Jesus gave to us. They are the Scriptural basis for the last four words of the conference mission statement, “to equip congregations to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.” The Lord’s Prayer reminds us that Christ’s purpose in instructing us “t o make disciples” is so that God’s world can be transformed into heaven on earth. Changed lives change the world. Our distinctive conference logo points to that new reality. Conference will be held this year June 4-7, 2012 in the Galveston Convention Center in Galveston, Texas. The convention center offers excellent space and t echnology for t he more than 2700 persons we expect to att end the conference. Long-time conference members will note this date shifts our gathering from Memorial Day week to the middle of the week in June so that we can accommodate families with children or adults in the public schools.

  • This, Too, Is Harrisburg District History Prepared for Delivery at the Harrisburg District Ministerium at Salem Church in Cumberland County February 14, 1967 by C.F
    This, Too, Is Harrisburg District History prepared for delivery at the Harrisburg District Ministerium at Salem Church in Cumberland County February 14, 1967 by C.F. Berkheimer editor’s note: The title is the one given by conference historian Charles F. Berkheimer, then retired and living in Williamsport, in 1967. Prior to the denominational union that formed the United Methodist Church, the Harrisburg District of the Methodist Church included the city of Harrisburg and all of York, Adams, Franklin, Cumberland, Perry and Juniata counties. In 1967, that area included 60 charges – 11 in Harrisburg and 49 west of the Susquehanna. Since the Evangelical United Brethren were much more numerous than the Methodists in that part of the conference, the 1968 union necessitated a major realignment in the district boundaries. In 1970, the first year of Central Pennsylvania Conference of the United Methodist Church, the York District alone – which didn’t even include the entire county – had 60 charges. While copies of the paper were distributed to the attendees, this valuable contribution to the history of our conference – like most of Berkheimer’s research – was never actually published. The Chronicle is pleased to serve as the instrument by which this information now receives the wider circulation it deserves. The paper is surprisingly concise and assumes that the listeners were familiar with the persons, places and events discussed in the document. Either Dr. Berkheimer over-estimated his audience or people had a greater interest in church history in the 1960’s than they do today. Since modern district gatherings seldom include historical presentations, the latter may be the case.
