WUMC Weekly Update: April 26, 2010

Bishop Fritz Mutti to preach at WUMC on May 2! While the UM Council of Bishops is in central Ohio we have the privilege of having Bishop Fritz Mutti preach this Sunday, May 2. He has served in a variety of pastoral settings and was assigned to the Kansas Episcopal Area as their Bishop in 1992. He retired in 2004 and has remained involved in leadership positions in the UMC and Ecumenical Community. He and his spouse Etta Mae served for a number of years as the Coordinators of the UM Global AIDS Fund. They are the parents of three sons, two of which have died of AIDS. It will be an honor to have the Muttis join us for worship this Sunday, May 2. Be sure to be present.
