The Small and Rural Church Task Force would like to invite representation from your congregation to join us on Saturday, September 27 to celebrate one another and launch our second program year as a cohort. 

We will gather at 10:00 a.m. for introductions, reflections on the year past, and updates about the coming year. We share a meal and plenty of fellowship together. And we will close with Holy Eucharist at 2:00 p.m. 

We will also celebrate a milestone in the life of one of our own churches, St. Nicholas in Maumelle, who have entered into a covenant of shared space with the First United Methodist Church of Maumelle. We’ll have our meeting in their new space, located at 1201 Edgewood Drive, Maumelle, Arkansas, 72113. 

We ask that you R.S.V.P. with the number attending from your church and any dietary restrictions by Friday, September 19, by emailing a member of the task force (click name below). Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have. We look forward to being back together, soon!
