“Five-Alive” (Circuit # 19) News

Five-Alive is the name of our circuit (Circuit # 19) in the Wisconsin Conference of the United Methodist Church.

 Meetings are open to all.  Please contact Pastor Charlie if you wish to attend the next meeting.

 PURPOSE OF CIRCUIT MINISTRY:

 Ministry is giving and receiving. The focus of Wisconsin's circuit ministry is to use individual gifts and congregational resources for the spiritual, physical, and emotional well being of the larger community. Circuit ministry is outward-directed with leaders, participants, and congregations working in mutuality. Circuit ministry was started July 1, 2004 after approval by the 2003 Session of the Wisconsin Annual Conference.

 ORGANIZING CORE VALUES OF CIRCUIT MINISTRY TEAMS:

Strengthen and care for local congregations' ministry and well-being.
• Strengthen and care for other congregations' ministry and well-being.
