From the Conference - A New Model of Leadership for the Great Northern District: On Sunday, Dec. 14, Bishop Sandy Olewine announced her intention to implement a new model of leadership for the Great Northern District, effective July 1, 2026. Under this model, Superintendent Mike Harrell would be appointed to serve half-time as a member of the pastoral team at The Table UMC in Sacramento, while continuing half-time in his role as a superintendent for the Great Northern District. In addition, Bishop Olewine is discerning two individuals who would join Rev. Mike as part of a collaborative superintendency team serving the Great Northern District. Let us hold the Bishop, our Superintendent, and this new model in our prayers.
