South West Reports Due

End of Year Reports

It’s that time of year again, time to begin working on information for the End of Year Report!  Every church must submit these reports online through Data Services by January 31, 2022, (the earlier, the better!).  You can go to the conference website now and print blank copies of the forms (https://www.ngumc.org/forms?dir=fileslibrary/endofyearreports ) to aid in gathering the required information.  The system will open on Wednesday, January 12 for input.

The SouthWest District has put together a Statistician Team of pastors who are available to assist with the End of Year Reports, led by District Statistician, Rev. Skip Mitchell.  Pastor’s will be receiving that information before the end of the year.  The district is also offering a workshop on Tuesday, January 11 at 6:00pm to review the process for completing reports.  Any clergy or laity involved in the completion of the reports is invited to participate in the workshop, either in person at the District Office or by Zoom.   Contact Denise to make a reservation (770-227-1074 or southwest@ngumc.net).

Vital Signs

 Good news everyone…Vital Signs is becoming an ‘in house’ metric for North Georgia.  In the past, Vital Signs have been reported to a UM Denomination Platform, but as things transition (due a lot to pandemic and conference staff shifts) the conference has developed a Vital Signs reporting system in the conference database through Data Services, effective  July 1, 2021.  Below is a link to a video that will explain the process:
