We will not accept paper, phone calls or walk-in registrations due to space and food considerations.

Cost is $35.00 and includes lunch. Deadline to register is January 15, 2011.

Please note that on Leadership Day, from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. only, we will be accepting in-person registration for the spring Discipleship Academy. While online registration is preferred, this registration is intended for those who have difficulty registering on Gateway. There will be special parking spaces in the front of the Conference Mission Center for easy entry and exit during the day. You do not have to be registered for Leadership Day in order to register for Discipleship Academy classes. Payment of check or credit card is due upon registering.

Please also note that you must register individually through Gateway in order to receive CEU credit. If you log in as your self and register for another person, they will not receive the CEU credit and there is a chance that their name and email will take over your Gateway account.

Did you know?

If you have questions about taxes, W-2 forms and I-9's, the best place to go to have those questions answered is the GCFA website. www.gcfa.org/ls_CTP/html We suggest you access the information from GCFA, then contact accounting professionals for any additional information.

It is important that you update your leadership in Gateway, especially for Annual Conference. All new leaders should be added to your church. To do this, log into Gateway and click on Committee Overview. Then click on Committee Participation and Update. Click on Local Church Leadership Committee. For more information abut make changes/updates, go to www.bwcumc.org/content/gateway-resources and click on the Introduction to Gateway Manual.

The current address of the Conference Mission Center does not always show up on GPS or MapQuest. We suggest you use the address for Maggie Moo's Ice Cream which is 8170 Maple Lawn Boulevard, Fulton, MD 20759. The Conference Mission Center is located in the parking lot behind Maggie Moo's.

If you send mail to our old address on Gateway Drive in Columbia, it will be returned to you. Please be mindful of our new address when sending timely information.

Your guide and district superintendent (and your RA) enjoy reading your newsletters. If you have them electronically, please feel free to pass them on to us via email.

That if you forget your Gateway user name and password and set up a new account in Gateway that your new account will not be connected to your church and you will not be able to access the forms you need on Gateway. To avoid this from happening, please contact Pam Mullay to obtain your user name and password for Gateway if you have forgotten it.

Clergy Compensation Reports are linked to medical and pension and if the reports are not submitted on time your 2011 medical and pension benefits can be affected.

That if you register anyone other than yourself on Gateway (aside from ROCK) for training, that person's name and email will take over your account and your name and email will disappear from Gateway. To avoid this each person must register for events individually unless stated that group registrations are allowed. We do this to allow for monitoring of CEU credits. If you have someone else register you then they will receive credit for the class in your place.
