Appointment Changes Announced
This time of year, upcoming changes to clergy appointments will be announced on the Missouri Conference website at 10 a.m. on Tuesdays most weeks. Pending appointments are posted after the local congregations have been informed about moves. Typically, appointments transition following the “Fixing of Appointments” service at the conclusion of Annual Conference Session in June, with clergy starting at their new appointments on the first Sunday of July. To read the latest list of changes, visit www.moumethodist.org/appointments.
Easter is one of the most well-attended Sundays of the year—and a vital moment for evangelism. Now’s the time to follow up with first-time guests and help them feel truly welcomed into the life of your church. A thoughtful connection can turn a single visit into lasting involvement.

Did you know 600,000 men and women return home from jails, prisons and detention centers each year? April is National Reentry Month — a time to raise awareness, inspire change, and equip leaders to support individuals returning home from incarceration. Strengthening the Black Church for the 21st Century is inviting pastors, ministry leaders, community partners, and anyone with a heart for justice to join us for their Second Chance Shepherding Webinar. This session will offer tools and insight on how to be a safe and welcoming space for second chance citizens and their families. Together, let’s learn how to "see all the people" — and become bridges of hope, healing, and restoration in our communities. Register here and help us spread the word.
