Participation in Final Forums Encouraged
As October begins, only five Global Ministry Forums are left to be conducted. The forums began earlier this year as a way to generate discussion on four critical topics heading into the 2020 International General Assembly. Ministers and laity who have not previously attended a forum are encouraged to participate in one of the remaining forums.
“Every person who has not already attended a forum and who is interested in the future of the Church of God should try to attend one of the last few forums,” noted Dr. Timothy M. Hill, General Overseer of the Church of God. “Without all the rules that limit what can be discussed at meetings like the General Assembly, these forums have been an open and honest discussion about the issues. So don’t miss these final few opportunities to be heard.”
On Tuesday evening, October1, a forum will be held in the Pacific Northwest at New Life Fellowship Church in Longview, Washington and then on Thursday, October 3, another forum will occur at the Church on Strayer in the Toledo, Ohio area. The forums begin at 6:00 p.m.
Those Global Ministry Forums will be followed by others in Hurst, TX (October 15); Chicago, IL (Romanian Convention, November 9); and Dasmarinas City, Philippines (November 15).
The Global Ministry Forum survey will also close in mid-November. Everyone is encouraged to complete the survey, regardless of attending a forum. More information on the remaining forums, detailed directions to the venues, and the survey can be found at the Global Ministry Forums website, www.globalministryforums.com.
