Wesley UMC to hold first planning convocation Nov. 3

Wesley United Methodist Church, 14 N. May St. in Aurora, will hold its first all-church convocation from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 3.

The Rev. John Bell, Wesley pastor, said, "The purpose of the day will be to worship together and discuss how Wesley UMC will move forward in January when the traditional plan takes affect."

Childcare will be provided.

At 10 a.m., the All Saints Day worship service will include communion.

At 11:15 a.m., there will be a plenary session asking "Now What?" It will be a review of the church's history, what the traditional plan means for Wesley UMC and what is being proposed for General Conference May 2020.

A potluck lunch will begin at 12:15 p.m.

At 1 p.m., discussion groups will explore the options, including doing nothing, resisting the traditional plan, or disaffiliation from the United Methodist Church.
