Welcome back to POD Strangely Warmed! In this special episode, we’re helping you get ready for the first-ever Annual Conference of the Horizon Texas Conference, hosted at McFarlin Memorial Auditorium on the campus of SMU. We’re taking you behind the scenes to meet some of the pastors and churches helping host this year’s gathering. Rev. Camille May, Director of Pastoral Care at Highland Park UMC, shares how their team is preparing to welcome attendees. Rev. Matt Gaston from First UMC Plano gives us a look at what to expect at their location—plus a few local food recs. And Dr. Clayton Oliphint of First UMC Richardson offers helpful tips for making the most of your conference experience. This is it—the inaugural Annual Conference of the Horizon Texas Conference! Whether you’re coming to connect, worship, learn, or lead, this episode is your warm welcome into a historic moment in the life of our new conference.
