CA-NV Annual Conference 2026
The 178th Session of the California-Nevada Annual Conference will take place from June 26 – 29, 2026 at the SAFE Credit Union Convention in Sacramento, California.
The annual conference is the basic body in The United Methodist Church and sessions of the annual conference have historically been a time for the people called Methodists to gather, give account to God of the work they have done and their stewardship of the resources God has given them since they last met. It has also been a holy time to discern God’s will for their future, a time when persons called to ordained ministry are commissioned and ordained, and both clergy and lay personnel and financial resources are deployed for ministry. Above all, annual conference sessions have been connectional gatherings where the gathered have experienced the presence of the Holy Spirit and have been revived for God’s holy work.
CALLING YOUTH & YOUNG ADULTS TO ATTEND ANNUAL CONFERENCE:
We want to ensure every church in the El Camino Real District is represented; application deadline is May 1st!
We are prioritizing this because we believe our young people shouldn’t just be “attending” church—they should be exercising their roles as full citizens by participating in its leadership. By serving as a Conference Member, students & young adults will:
– Have a Vote: They get a seat on the floor to vote on resolutions & future direction of conference.
– Develop Leadership: It’s a high-level introduction to church governance and systemic leadership.
– Build Connection: They’ll join a cohort of other young leaders from across CA and NV, proving they are part of a much larger, diverse movement.
– Nomination Link
– Applicant Link
Eligibility: We are looking for Youth (ages 12-17) & Young Adults (ages 18-30) who are members of a UMC within our conference. Find all the info here.
The Annual Conference session will consider legislation, recognize retiring clergy, hold a Memorial service to honor clergy and clergy spouses that have passed during the previous year, and fix the appointments of pastors to the various charges.

Spirituality in Nature Group (SING)
As we hike through the forest, walk on the beach, or sit beside a stream, the world around us echoes with sacred resonance.
Time in nature can offer some of our most moving and meaningful spiritual experiences.
A Spirituality In Nature Group (SING) allows us to incorporate these encounters into our regular faith practice. Being part of a SING is a wonderful way to engage spiritual formation, build community, reawaken wonder and connection with local ecosystems, and renew commitment to creation justice.
Are you interested in being part of the Campbell UMC SING?
If cultivating spirituality in nature appeals to you, write to: sing[at]campbellunited[dot]org.
A “SING” Google group has been created for Campbell UMC members who are interested in
being informed about upcoming SING events. If you would like to be added to this Google group,
please send an email to sing[at]campbellunited[dot]org.
Everyone is Welcome — no need to be a church attender!
It’s perfect weather to be out and about on trails and in the parks. Let us know if you’ve found
a spot that you think would do well for a Campbell SING outing.

Listening Assistance in Sunday Worship

If you have trouble hearing, or if you used the previous hearing assistance devices during Worship, our new sound system has a better option!
ListenWIFI is an app for Android & Apple IOS you can use on your phone/device with earbuds or Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids. When in the Sanctuary, connect to the CUMC WiFi, download the app to your device, then press “connect” in the app.
There may be a slight delay between audio to Bluetooth aids/buds,
and what is “real time,” but it doesn’t create a problem.
There is no delay with wired earbuds.
Make sure you hear every word of the Pastor’s Sermon, Word for Children, Prayers,
Scripture Reading, and of course, the Choir!
If you have any issues or need assistance, write to info[at]campbellunited[dot]org

Cake4Kids
The proceeds from all the donations for the beautiful Baskets at the 2025 UWF Tea benefited Cake4Kids.
Cake4Kids partners with agencies, private and public, to provide free custom, homemade cakes and sweets, delivered to at-risk and under-served youth across the country! The youth served may be in foster or kinship care, living in group homes, survivors of domestic violence or human trafficking, living in low-income housing with or without a parent, or even homeless. It may just be a cake/treat, but the children know that a stranger took the time and effort to do something special just for them.
Cake4Kids is an amazing group that could use more bakers
to fulfill the requests in our area.
Find out more about Cake4Kids and Volunteer!

Supporting the LifeMoves Dinners

Bishops’ Statement re: the 2019 General Conference Session
“God has so arranged the body, giving the greater honor to the inferior member, that there may be no dissension within the body, but the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it.” – 1 Corinthians 12:24b-26
View the video statement from the Bishops of the Western Jurisdiction.
At Campbell UMC we all re-affirm our commitment to our LGBTQIA sisters and brothers, to be an inclusive home for ALL God’s children. We believe all means ALL.

“Feed” the Campbell UMC “Little Library” Boxes
A few years ago Campbell UMC members constructed little library boxes, which have been installed in Campbell and nearby. Some are in front of schools, some in front of homes, one is at the Little League baseball field just off Hamilton Avenue, and one is near our chapel. Most are in under-served areas; they have visibility and easy access for children, their families, and everyone, actually.
Most often “borrowed” are: children’s picture books, easy readers, chapter books for young readers, novels and non-fiction for young adults and everyone. Spanish editions are especially welcome.
Please look through your bookshelves and closets for books you no longer want. They will be happy additions for our selections that lead to greater community literacy. Contact the church office if you have questions.
Your donated books will fill our supply shelves and contribute to a variety of available books for stocking the little library boxes. Thank you!

Composting Initiative
Campbell UMC has gone green with a composting program, organized by our Youth!
There is a green composing bucket in the kitchen for leftover food scraps. Please see the instructions on the bin for what foods are acceptable. The Youth will empty the bucket every Sunday after Fellowship into the bigger freestanding, circular compost bins located in the courtyard.
If used outside these hours, please empty the bin according to the instructions and return to the kitchen counter.
For questions please contact the office.
Watch An Act of Love – again!
On June 24th, 2016, Campbell UMC hosted a free community screening of the documentary, An Act of Love (which was newly released at the time). This compelling film tells the story of Rev. Frank Schaefer, who was initially defrocked & disciplined by The United Methodist Church for officiating his son’s same-sex marriage.The film was shown in partnership with Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN), which hopes to inspire members of the United Methodist Church to work toward changing the Church’s official doctrine to fully include LGBTQ clergy and congregants. It is still most timely, with the Council of Bishops still working to find A Way Forward.
We’ve been notified that the film is now available on Kanopy free for streaming!
If you were unable to attend our screening or would like to see it again, you are invited to watch this wonderful, yet still divisive story about the act that rocked the United Methodist Church and the minister who risked it all for his gay son.
All means ALL! Watch the trailer.

Be Part of the Worship Arts Team!
It takes a team to create meaningful worship and your help is needed.
There are three areas of opportunity:
Running the Slide Presentation on Sunday: This is a volunteer position. You should have a good sense of the flow of worship and be able to change slides at the
appropriate time. Participants offer their time on one Sunday during a 6-week period. Contact info at campbellunited.org if interested in running the slides.
Running the Sound Board: This is a volunteer position. The
sound tech is a very important part of worship, ensuring that all worshipers hear everything that is said or sung. Participants offer their time one Sunday per month. Any age is welcome to help!
If you think you could serve in this way, please contact info @ campbellunited.org.
Audio Recordist: Here is an opportunity to help record the Sunday sermons and choral anthems for the church’s website! It’s easy, fun, and does not take much time. You only need to start/stop each recording, file it, and you’re done! If interested, please contact info [at] campbellunited [dot] org.
_____________________________________
Opportunities to Volunteer with Children at Rosemary School!
NOTE: We also NEED SUBSTITUTES – please contact the pastor at the email below…
Three (3!) opportunities to get involved in the church’s partnership with Rosemary Elementary School:
- One-on-One Reading Companions are needed. This is a one-afternoon/week commitment, 2-3pm., beginning in September. No teaching skills required. Training in September.
- Asset Building Champions (ABC) Readers. A volunteer and teacher, once a month, get together read a short book and lead a discussion in each classroom. This program helps the entire school community to develop a common language and vocabulary about mutual respect and empathy. This is a 2-3 hours/month, during-the-school- day commitment. Training periodically.
- Volunteers for the School Library – assist in keeping the library open during after-school hours, so that it can be used by families for computer access and community-building. This commitment will likely be 1-1.5 hours, once every 1-2 weeks. Beginning in October.
Is this ministry calling to you? Interested in finding out more?

“Jesus of Korea, Savior of the People”
The book by our late Pastor Paul Kim is available.
Read the story, “History Lives on Through Pastor’s Mission” on the Greater New Jersey Conference website.
Pastor Paul’s book is about the extremely rapid rise of Christianity in South Korea in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Today Christian churches in Korea have memberships in the tens of thousands. The roots of this conversion to the belief in Jesus is credited to the American Missionaries that arrived in Korea in the late 19th and early 20th century.
His book was nearly finished right before Pastor Paul’s untimely passing in 2014. The book was published in spring 2016 and is available through Amazon and Fortress Press. We also have two copies available in our own library for borrowing.

Worship at Work in the World! 
Four times each year, there is a fifth Sunday of the month. In 2016, we tried something new. So popular it was, that we are continuing!
On 5th Sundays, (as permitting) worship will be brief (~20 minutes), joyfully led by our Gospel Choir. At the end of worship, the entire congregation will be sent out to be in service for the remainder of the morning. Over the year, there will be a number of opportunities for service, on and off campus, for every age and ability.
See the Worship at Work webpage.
All are invited to join in!

Now you can give to CUMC using your mobile phone!
Go to your app store to download the app from Tithe.ly
and select “Campbell United Methodist Church” which will route offerings directly to Campbell UMC.
Special offerings will also be listed when applicable.
Download at the AppStore for iOS
Download at the Google Playstore for android
You can also easily set up recurring giving either weekly or monthly with one click. However you choose to give, you will receive an email receipt with the amount given, to what fund you gave, and have access to all your giving history for easy accounting. All information is securely encrypted.
NOTE: According to our contact at Tithe.ly, it may be best if you download the app while in church.
It “geolocates” your phone to find the correct church in the app store.
You also may need to note that according to Google, which is used for the geo-location,
1675 Winchester Blvd is identified as San Jose, not Campbell.
Our contact at Tithe.ly said as long as people are “sitting at the right address”, the app store will bring up the correct app even if the city is mis-identified.

Adult Sunday School – On Hiatus
The Adult Sunday School class meets at 8:50am Sunday mornings. The meeting format is typically a video presentation followed by discussion. The class concludes in time for the 10am worship service. Drop-ins are always welcome.

The study will be The Lives of Great Christians, a Teaching Company course taught by Dr. William Cook from the State University of New York. Dr. Cook’s focus is on the great practitioners of the Christian faith with more emphasis on their lives than on their writings.
The first lecture – What Makes a Great Christian? – will be on Sunday, Sept 8th in the Fireside Room.
This lecture “discusses the difficulties for Christians in ascertaining how to follow Jesus today. Scripture in translation may not accurately convey Jesus’ works and thoughts, and without that guidance, it’s hard to find our own paths.”
Join in as we explore another fascinating series. Come for coffee, tea and conversation. You are always welcome to join in – no preparation is required, and there is no homework! Each session is usually 20-30 minutes which allows for discussion time before adjourning for worship.
The video starts at 9am.
Class is over in time for the 10:00 worship service.
Find out more about this series at the Adult Sunday School page.
Contact for questions: adultsundayschool [at] campbellunited [dot] org
ALL adults are welcome.

Come [every other] Saturday, from 9am – Noon and join Pastors Alyss and Ouk-Yean along with a dedicated team of volunteers, who will be heading to 10-15 encampments, to distribute donations. Most teams will be finished by noon. Meet at 9:00am at Father’s House Parking Lot, 133 Bernal Road, San Jose.
It will be much appreciated by recipients if you would write a brief note of compassion and affix it to your donated item. Thank you!
