Dayton Daily News Recognizes New Hope Church as a "Community Gem"
New Hope Church (Dayton, OH) from our Cincinnati Circuit received positive coverage in Dayton Daily News recently for the hope it provides citizens in recovery. In nominating the church as a "gem," another community member said that Pastor Jeff Cartwright " believes that everyone can be bigger than the circumstances that surround them." The seven weekly addiction recovery meetings at the church serves at least 300 people.
Let's each take a moment to praise God for what He's doing for Xenia Avenue residents through New Hope Church - and pray for continued restoration of hope in the surrounding neighborhood.

General Conference Delegation Allocation is Growing - Because the Global Methodist Church is Growing
Here are few numbers you may find interesting: Since March, the Global Methodist Church...
has grown by 472 churches,
added 482 new full-time equivalent pastoral assignments,
and announced three new provisional annual conferences.
In March, 260 delegates were allocated to the Convening General Conference, which meets this September in Costa Rica. Due to our continued growth, the Transitional Leadership Council voted this past week to allocate another 104 delegates.

The Allegheny West Provisional Annual Conference, representing more than 580 churches and congregations, remains the largest delegation going to General Conference (currently 34 delegates allocated).
