District Boards and Committees

The Florence District also sends special thanks for dedicated service to those members who have served and will not be continuing this year. Each Charge Conference Season, pastors and Lay Leaders are given Conference & District Nomination Forms. If you know of someone who has a desire to serve with gifts to share, please have them contact their pastor or Lay Leader for a form. Each Board/Committee/Task Force sends out meeting notices, so please be looking for notice of your next meeting. The Florence District is working to set in place the Cluster Leader Meetings, those dates will be posted on the website as soon as they are planned.
