The Nine Rivers District will be having laity gatherings during the upcoming months. Please note that you can attend any of these sessions regardless of the county in the Nine Rivers District where you live or attend church. The gatherings will start at 10:00 AM and end after lunch. Lunch will be provided.
The purpose of the gatherings, in addition to fellowship, is to have open discussions about how laity can be better equipped and encouraged to answer God’s call for each of us. We are all called into ministry. How are we currently answering that call? What holds us back? What training and support would be helpful?

If you are a Certified Lay Servant, Speaker, or Minister, a lay leader in your church, or an interested lay person, please plan on joining us at for a time of fellowship and discussion.

We need to know how many people will attend each session for lunch and planning purposes. Please RSVP by contacting Jennifer Goldizen via email at jmgoldizen@wvumc.org with your name, church name, and contact information (email and phone number).
