Dear faithful Nebraska United Methodist congregations,
Your faithfulness in 2008 was extraordinary. Your hard work and effective ministry made it possible for us to pay 90 percent of our mission shares. You and your congregations make the connectional ministry of The United Methodist Church a possibility.
As I read this morning's paper I was reminded once again that our country and our world are experiencing extraordinary economic difficulties. I know that you and every pastor in Nebraska are having to make hard choices as we navigate these difficult waters. You expect nothing less from the Annual Conference. The attached letter from Dr. Lux and Mr. Duncan share with you our plan for 2009 and renew our commitment to you to be prudent as we put together the 2010 funding plan for adoption at Annual Conference.
We keep each other and the people we serve in prayer. With prudent planning and generous hearts, we move into the future.
Grace and peace,
Ann
