Twelve friends and I from my home church had the honor of providing music, lectures and  support  for  the  UMC  Mississippi Annual Conference held in Jackson, Ms. Over  1,000  pastors   and 1,000  local delegates attended the three day event. I was honored to sing with the All People Band  and with  tracks from  my  latest album. The  warm  welcome  I received from the Mississippi folks made me feel right at home. All events were captured on camera for the United Methodist Hour, so hopefully  some concert  footage  will be available soon. Pictured above are from left to right starting in the back: Pastor John Edgar, me, Ed Moed and David Bennett.

WARM WELCOME AT SOUTH BLOOMFIELD UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

I  really  enjoyed  my  visit at  the South  Bloomfield   Methodist Church  in  South Bloomfield, Ohio on Sunday, June 5th. This church is actually on my mail route, so it's a bit like coming home when I get the chance to sing there. The church is pastored by Floyd Hubbell  and is  experiencing  growth both  spiritually and  numerically.  It's a blessing to see the congregation working together to reach out to the community!  If you are in the Pickaway county area and need a church home, definitely give South Bloomfield UMC a try!
