The 47th session of the Red Bird Missionary Conference was held on May 16th at Hope UMC and on the campus of Henderson Settlement in Bell County. Rev. Robert Amundsen preached the opening worship, where the members of the local churches who died during the last year were honored. Bishop G. Lindsey Davis led the conference, completing all of the business tasks in just one day. Bishop Davis also preached the mission night service; over $4900 was raised in that service to help with the Ebola crisis through UMCOR. The conference also participated in the recognition of Rev. Steven Riddle as an associate member of the Red Bird Conference.
