KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – A joint annual Charge Conference for the seven congregations of Lake Circuit United Methodists will be held on Nov. 5 at 11 a.m. at the Kelseyville United Methodist Church.

"An annual Charge Conference is a requirement of each United Methodist Church worldwide," explained Great Northern District Lake Circuit Leader Rev. Shannon Kimbell-Auth, who is the pastor of both Middletown and Clearlake United Methodist churches.

"The six pastors of our seven Methodist Churches meet monthly to explore ways to support the focus of our various communities of faith," Kimbell-Auth said. “We will begin the day with a joint worship service that includes communion and participation by all six pastors at 11 a.m. in the Sanctuary of the Kelseyville United Methodist Church.”

A county potluck will follow in the Fellowship Hall. Individual church charge meetings will be held to approve church leadership for 2017, confirm pastoral compensation and provide reports on state of the church.

"All United Methodists members and friends are invited to join us for this day of celebration, communion and preparation for serving the people of God in 2017,” Kimbell-Auth said.

The Kelseyville United Methodist Church is located at 3810 Main and First streets in Kelseyville.

If you have questions, please contact Rev. Kimbell-Auth at 707-987-3379.

United Methodists practice “Open Hearts, Open Minds and Open Doors” led by the teachings of Christ Jesus.
