This week

This week is the week of the Second Sunday after Epiphany. I didn't take the time to post an entry last week because of getting ready to attend Resurrection '09, the annual youth event that our conference puts on each January. The Resurrection series is celebrating 25 years of ministry, which means that today's youth are the children in some cases of original Resurrection attendees from the mid-80s. This retreat over the years has contributed to Holston Conference having the youngest average age of pastors in the United Methodist Church as well as making our conference youth program one of the most vital in the connection. The over 12,000 youth and leaders who attend are the largest yearly event for youth in the UMC. To read more about the event, follow this link: http://holston.org/events/2009/jan/23/resurrection-09/
