If you have a conflict with the assigned day/time, it is your responsibility to contact the Pastor of the church to see if they are able to switch and notify the district office. All reports must be submitted to the district office 2 weeks prior to your charge conference.

Please contact the district office (lromano@epaumc.org) for the ZOOM link. If there are questions or best practices that will help our district churches between our monthly chats, please email to DS Foster to share with the body during our monthly chats.

The following are the questions shared to consider throughout our charge conference season:

• What are you learning about yourself/ministry during this pandemic?
• How are you connecting what you have learned and are learning t­­­o ensure the Mission of the Church is being realized?
• What are some tangible signs? If your church/ministry ceases to exist, who in the community would miss it?
