STRATEGIC PLAN QUESTIONS FOR MCALESTER DISTRICT 2009 CHARGE CONFERENCES

1. How are you helping people grow closer to God? How do you know? What are you measuring?

2. How do you as a church help people serve God's mission? How do you know? What are you measuring?

3. When people come to worship or to your small groups (Sunday School, Circles, Fellowship, Studies) do they meet Christ? Do broken people "get better?" How do you know? What are you measuring?

4. How are you transforming your community? What need are you trying to meet? What hurt are you working to heal? If you were to ask people who are not in your church, "what impact is ____________ UMC making in this community?" what would they say?

 

YOUTH FORCE IN THE MCALESTER DISTRICT

About 80 youths and 22 adults from all over Oklahoma converged in LeFlore County July 19th through 24th, as part of the Oklahoma Annual Conference Youth Force for 2009. During the week, these wonderful Christians split up into work teams called God-Squads and worked at many different sites around the county in eastern Oklahoma refurbishing and painting houses and building wheelchair ramps, as well as sharing in prayer, praise, and worship, and having some fun all the while.

Participants came from as far away as Vinita in northeast Oklahoma and Ringling in southwest Oklahoma, along with many from nearby towns and cities in the McAlester District.

Youth Force in the Oklahoma Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church has been around for more than 20 years and takes place in a number of locations throughout the state each year. 2009 was the first time for Youth Force to happen in the McAlester District. First UMC of Poteau was the headquarters for this Youth Force event. Dinners and worship services were hosted by difference area United Methodist Churches, including Howe, Wister, Cameron, Spiro, Heavener, and Poteau. The leadership team came from the United Methodists Churches in Poteau and Heavener.
