Who: All Prairie Central clergy, church lay leaders & their families

Come and join the district's clergy and elected lay leaders and meet their families. There is no agenda other than a brief time of worship, fun and fellowship for all. Let's celebrate the love of God, the love of each other and our love of being connected through the United Methodist Church.

Bring a chair to sit on, a water bottle (to save the environment) for lemonade, tea and water, and possibly a lawn game to play

If you or your church would like to provide music, we will have a stage for open microphone opportunities. Contact DS Jeffry if you or other musicians are interested in playing.

Questions? Please contact DS Jeffry Bross jbross@umcnic.org
