RESULT OF THE MEMBERS VOTE... After prayers, opening remarks, our vote, and a hymn sung together as a congregation, the District Superintendent, James Wilson II, informed us that Sidney First Church voted to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church. In the next few weeks, the Pastors and leadership will be sharing information about our desire to remain connected to a Wesleyan Methodist denomination, with the Global Methodist Church (GMC) being the most likely denomination. Please watch for additional information explaining details about the GMC and the timing. We will be as Jesus calls us to be—the same welcoming, loving, mission-focused congregation we have always been. As we step out in faith, we are confident that our Sidney First Church members and friends will be supportive as God reveals His plan for our future.
