On Wednesday, May 26, 2010 at Grace United Methodist Church in Baltimore, more than 70 clergy and laity from churches in the city gathered for the first Baltimore Summit on the City. We gathered to worship and to share information on the state of the 46 United Methodist Churches in Baltimore, and look at where we are going over the next few years. These are exciting times as we continue to explore ways to transform churches and communities across the city.
Toward these ends, at the Summit we shared that since 2008 through Hope for the City, the strategic initiative for ministry in Baltimore, some of what has been accomplished is the establishment 9 new Communities of Shalom in the city, the initiation of Camp Life to offer support to youth affected by violence in the city, and launching of It Takes A Village, designed to help persons in churches more effectively partner with the schools in their communities.
Indeed these are hopeful times, and we look forward to what God will continue to do in our midst.
