A Brief Introduction to the District Newsletter


Good Thursday Afternoon Genesee Valley & Mountain View District's!

Please be patient as we all settle into our new roles in the United Methodist Church of Upper New York.


There are so many things changing and transitioning this month. So, again I ask that you PLEASE show grace, kindness and patience to everyone during these crazy times! THANK YOU.


Beginning next Thursday, we are combining the Genesee Valley and Mountain View District Newsletters, plus we are shortening the newsletter by not including Conference News (we provide links below) and will be eliminating repetitive articles, as many folks have commented that the newsletter is too long.

 

If you currently subscribe to both District newsletters, you may receive duplicates. Let me know, and I can remove you from one of the lists. If you unsubscribe, you'll be unsubscribing to both!

 

We will continue to send Local Church Events to each District on 2nd & 4th Thursday of the month for the time being. Please contact Patti in the District Office if you have questions or concerns (607) 962-8047.


Important Information For You to Know
