If you are new to United Methodist Churches, when you hear people talking about particular committees, you may ask, "What in the world is ____________? What is the purpose of that committee?" Even for longtime Methodists, it can be easy to forget what specific committees do, especially since some have changed names over the years in The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church (our organizational guidelines).
So, we're going to be "introducing" you to these committees -- what they do AND who is representing you on these committees here at WUMC. This is just one way of blessing and giving thanks for those serving in these capacities. In this edition, we speak to the roles and responsibilities of Church Council and introduce you to its members.
