| All,
The Board has scheduled two Chrysalis Flights for this summer to be held at FUMC Midlothian . The Boy’s Flight will be held July 22 through
24.
It has been several years since our Conference held a Chrysalis event, and apparently there are few who know how to get one started. We are looking to you for help. We cannot find any Youth to fill Team Positions because the Youth from the last Flights held, have grown up and many are now in college or elsewhere. Therefore the Board decided to utilize college aged young adults as the “Youth” Team Members. At least maybe we can get this thing going again, and build a new crop of Youth Team Members for future Fights. We are also looking for CHRYSALIS EXPERIENCED ADULTS to help with the Flights. Additionally, we are looking for anyone else who wants to be on a Team. We need to get this done quickly !!!! Please respond to my home e-mail address, thehopkinsranch@juno.com if you know: 1.) Chrysalis Experienced Youth (college age is okay)
for LD, ALD, and Table Leader positions.
If you have any questions I hope that I can answer them. Please e-mail me at the above e-mail address, or you can try to call me at (972) 723-5060. E-mail works best. De Colores,

Annual Conference Goes Green In an effort to be more environmentally friendly and to reduce printing costs, Annual Conference information will be made available on the CTC website rather than by mailings this year. All details concerning hotels, luncheons, childcare, as well as other aspects of Annual Conference, including the 2010 Preliminary Report, will be posted as they become available. You may view and download the information by clicking on the 2010 Annual Conference icon at www.ctcumc.org after this week.. We appreciate your support as the Central Texas Conference “goes green”!  Please pass this info on to your congregations!!
The Brownwood District is planning a mission trip to Mexico with Juntos
Servimos, a UM site in Matamoros, Mexico. If you are interested,
please contact Marion Surles, msurles06@yahoo.com
or 918-720-1565. The district-wide trip would be during spring break
March 13-20, 2010. This mission site provides a haven for the disabled,
diabetics, and homeless children. The trip could involve construction,
physical therapy, VBS activities, diabetic care, or other needs we see
as we get to know the stories of the people we will serve. Check them out
on Facebook. Deadline for joining the team
is December 1.
We have set up a special "Prayers for Military Personnel" page on our web site to list military service personnel that you would like be included on prayer lists of churches in the Brownwood District and on personal prayer lists. Lists of any military service personnel from the family of your church are to be sent to the District Office so that they may be included in this page. Please include name of person, town they are from, and who the person they are most related to. The Prayers for Military page is found at: Return to Top Return to home page! |

Mike Lowry announced Sunday, Feb. 14, the appointment of Carol Woods as
superintendent of the Brownwood District, replacing Rev. James Olney who
has taken incapacity leave while he undergoes treatment for cancer. This
is Woods’ second appointment to a Cabinet position, having served as superintendent
of the Northeast District of the North Texas Conference from 1997 to 2002.
It was in 2002 that she transferred to the Central Texas Conference and

Church in Fort Worth. Two years later, she was named senior pastor at the
520-member First United Methodist Church of Mineral Wells, the position
she currently holds. See more details at
