Cynthia Holly will be transitioning to be the single Administrative Assistant for all four districts in the Desert Southwest Conference beginning August 1, 2022. Cynthia has been a District Administrative Assistant for five years serving with the South and East Districts and brings a wealth of experience for this new position.
Even though we have just passed through the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, these can feel like dark times. Inflation in the cost of living from eggs to the fuel pump; mid-term political rivals painting one another as evil; the distress of the action of the SCOTUS on the retraction of Roe vs Wade; the roller-coaster of the Stock Market -- each continues to cause us to spin and rock back on our heels.
Meet the new clergy in the North District.
Summer Sayonara Splash Summer break was fun, camp and mission trips were awesome, hanging out with your best friends was the greatest! School is here, but the fun isn't over yet. Join us for a night of water filled fun, music, and an EPIC Aqua-pocalypse battle on...
Potosi Pines Camp continues on the move as the Great Connection reaching out to bring the mountain-top experience into the valley.
An anniversary is a great time to connect -- as it brings out those who have been long-time active members, new people who seek to be a part of the community, and those who have not been seen in a long time, but still consider Hope UMC to be a part of their lives.
Every spring for more than 20 years Potosi Pines has welcomed a team of amazing volunteers from the Nomad ministry to help us keep the camp in top shape. There are few surfaces that have not been cleaned, painted, hammered, or re-imagined by the Nomads. With financial support from the Southern Nevada Foundation we have been able to fund many of the Nomad projects. These amazing volunteers spend 3 weeks in camp staying in their RV's and help get us ready for the summer season.
I think of intriguing, ingenious, and innovative. I think of the dynamic duo of pastor and layperson -- Rev. Judy Stallons and Phyllis Murray -- in ministry together at Pahrump Valley UMC.
