The New Mexico Annual Conference will be held from 9:00 am Thursday, June 11th until Saturday around noon, June 13th at Western Hills UMC-El Paso.  The theme of the next three year's of annual conferences is A Season of Growth: Rooted in Christ - Growing for the World.  The specific theme for this year is Pruning for Clarity.  The supporting Scripture is John 15.  (Please read Bishop's Call Letter for more information.)

We will be celebrating our 150th Anniversary with a fiesta on Thursday night.  They'll be good food, always warm fellowship, and a time to share our stories of conference memories past.  Please bring your photos and memorabilia to share during annual conference.

Bishop Grant J. Hagiya, retired UMC Bishop from the Western Jurisdiction and current Co-President at Claremont School of Theology, will be preaching the Service of Commissioning and will participate during the Conference.

Our keynote speaker is Rev. Dr. Blair Thompson. She is chief learning and innovation officer at Wesleyan Impact Partners and Texas Methodist Foundation. Blair is a familiar face to our conference. She consistently provides new ideas and new ways for churches to minister to the world.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
John 15: 1-4
