Join Bishop Ken Carter at Merlefest on Thursday April 27th for a conversation around four questions. We'll meet up at the Appalachian District's Tent inside the festival at 3pm and find a place close by to chat. After our conversation we'll go listen to some good bluegrass! This is in partnership with the Fresh Expressions Adventurer’s Leadership Academy and the Appalachian District of the United Methodist Church’s presence at this festival. You don't have to register to attend the conversation, but if you do we'll bring you a free copy of Bishop Carter's new book! Contact Luke Edwards if you have any questions at ledwards@wnccumc.org.

Is your church looking for ways to connect with families with children in your community? Messy Church is a type of fresh expression that is having a huge impact in the UK, Canada, and Australia. Messy Church combines activities, a meal, and a brief message to bring families together to experience church who would not normally come on a Sunday morning.
On Saturday April 22nd the Appalachian District and WNCC Fresh Expressions are hosting a Getting Started in Messy Church training at the Jefferson UMC (115 E. Main Street Jefferson, NC) from 9:30am to 2:30pm. This training will give you all the tools you need to start a Messy Church at your church.
