ATTENTION!! (updated 7/31/09): 2009 Charge Conference forms are now available (See Schedule below) - click on the following link to open a file titled "2009 Charge Conference Forms", that will open a file which contains all the forms and informational documents. (The 2009 Pastoral Interview Schedule and Questions, Continuing Formation Report Form and Standards, along with the BUMFS 2009 Apple Harvest Work Schedule are also included.) Also look under "Calendar" and "Coming Events" for these Schedules and upcoming events in District.
2009 Charge Conference Forms.zip
The forms and information documents are in a zip/compressed folder - you must open the folder , and then open each form within that folder. To open the zip folder (double click) on the folder "2009 Charge Conference Forms", then (double-click) again on the folder with the same name - this will give a list of all forms (double click on the form you wish to view, print or save.) You should (must) save each form to "My Documents" on your computer and then work with it, or save them to a CD/disk/flashdrive. (It is best to always save the form and then work with it and not to work in or change the forms in the zip folder.) Save one for each church on the charge. You are free to complete the forms on your computer and then print them out or print the forms and fill them out (as long as you type or print legibly.)
The Fair Share forms for each church/charge are available this year online and are included on this website with the Charge Conference forms. Just double click on the file "2010 Fair Share-SELECT YOUR CHARGE", then click on YOUR charge name. The Nominations for Local Church Leaders are coming from the Conference office this year and will only be available in paper form and WILL NOT BE available online and will have to be picked up at a training session, district picnic or district office-although the Directions for completing the form for Local Church Nominations are included with the online forms." Again, this form will only be available in paper form and will have to be physically sent or brought into the District Office upon completion. They will be available at two (2) District training workshops to be held on Saturday, August 8th at Trinity UMC, Piedmont, WV and on Sunday, August 9th at St. John's UMC, Parsons, WV, or from the District Office after August 9th. The subscription information concerning the INTERPRETER Magazine will need to be distributed-we ask that you look over this subscription information very closely so that those subscriptions can be brought/kept up-to-date.
Paper (printed) copies of the charge conference forms will NOT be available at the District Picnic as in the past (with the exception of the Local Church Nominations.) The forms have changed little since last year (with the exception of Church Officer Nominations) and can be done on your computer and then either emailed or sent to the District Office. Charge Conferences will be held parish-wide this year - see Schedule below. Completed Charge Conference forms MUST be into the District Office NO LATER THAN MONDAY, OCTOBER 19TH.
We do realize there are pastors who do NOT have a computer and/or internet access, and we will print them a set of the Charge Conference forms and information and get it to them by other means. If you are a pastor who DOES have internet access and can go to the District Website, BUT does not have either WORD and/or EXCEL programs, please inform the District Office as to what forms you will be needing so we need only print the specific forms you cannot pick up from the website. As you can imagine, this saves the District Office time and expense, which is one of the major benefits of having our own District Website!
