Trinity United Methodist Church of Muldrow and Roland

Happy Easter! Everyone is welcome.

Greetings Church Family,

Tomorrow-Sunday March 12, at 3 P.M. is our Church Conference for Trinity UMC “to vote” on whether to leave the United Methodist Church. The vote to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church is an important one.

Our goal is to become better Methodists in the future apart from a denomination that sometimes contradicts the scripture that we practice here at the local church.

You must be a full member of the church to vote. The District Superintendent Rev. Terry Koehn has a list of all that are eligible to vote. You will be required to sign in on that list. Brenda Scrivner Rev. Terry’s Administrative Assistance will be here too.

Below are important things that you need to know:

1- Everyone must have a picture ID and present it at the time of sign-in to be allowed to vote. (That includes all voting members in your household.)
2- You can only vote in person.
3- Not returning a ballot and abstentions are the same as a “NO” vote.
4- To be successful, we must have 2/3 of the members present to vote “yes” to disaffiliate.

We do not know how long the meeting will last. Please allow for an hour; but if we only vote, and there is no debating, then it will be shorter. No meal is associated with the meeting.

Also, before you go to bed tonight, remember to fast forward your clocks one hour. Yes, Sunday morning March 12, 2023 at 2:00 A.M., Daylight Savings Time begins-we lose an hour.

Hope to see you in Sunday School and Church tomorrow morning and at the 3 P.M. Church Conference.

Blessing, Lois Owens
