   For the 220th time, 1,200 or so clergy and laity from Central Pennsylvania will meet in Hitchcock Arena at Messiah College in Grantham to do the business of the Annual Conference, to celebrate the ordination of new pastors, the retirement of clergy, and the lives of clergy who have passed to their eternal reward.
   The Annual Conference sessions begin on Thursday morning, June 5, and concludes with the ordination service on Saturday, June 7.
   In addition to a keynote address by Bishop Jane Allen Middleton, the Celebration of Ministry service guest speaker will be Bishop Sally Dyck of the Minnesota Annual Conference. Rev. Dr. Ronald Parks will deliver the sermon for the Memorial Service on Friday evening.
   Six resolutions will come before the legislative body for 2008 as follows:
 
Resolution 1:
The Need For Child Abuse Legislation
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: We ask that Bishop Middleton issue an Episcopal Letter, directed to our churches as well as Governor Rendell, the Chair of the Senate Youth and Age Committee, affirming the value of the lives of our children by passing the legislation that was not passed in 2007. We affirm our responsibility as Christians to ensure that even in death the child’s life does not lose meaning.

Season One - The Mission and Ministry of Mission Central
   Mission Central became a reality in 2002 by a vote of the Central Pennsylvania Conference, The United Methodist Church. A three-faceted focus was established for this ministry: mission education, mission outreach, and disaster response. The goal was to centralize and unify the mission work of the United Methodist churches in the Conference. Since then, those goals have come to fruition, and over 200 outreach opportunities have been presented and integrated into the work of Mission Central. A sampling of the 200 linked ministries are:

Arms Around Africa
Bethesda Mission in Harrisburg
Bread of Life Outreach
Computer Ministry
Crossover Pregnancy Center, Lewistown
Disaster Response
Fruitbelt Farmworker Christian Ministry
His Thousand Hills Ministry, Wellsboro
Jamaican Outreach
