The United Methodist Council of Bishops working with the Connectional Table and leaders of UM general agencies created this communication tool to help all UM pastors, leaders, and volunteers spread the word about the ministry focus of The United Methodist Church.

The "table tent" (an oversize version of a pocket card available separately) is perfect for church meetings and events. It is printed on scored card stock for easy folding. It comes in packages of 25. Unfolded size is 8 1/2" x 11"; folded size is 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". The business card size version is available in the Related Products Section below.

PURPOSE: People ask, “What are the 4-Areas of Focus talked about at the 2008 General Conference of The United Methodist Church and by groups such as the Council of Bishops?” These table tents and pocket cards provide a succinct way to interpret these crucial aspirations of our ministry together.

“We’ve heard about the 4-Areas of Focus, 3 Simple Rules, and 1 mission of the UMC. It is hard to keep all the numbers straight! How do they fit together?” The table tents and pocket cards provide an easy reference tool and summarize these complementary descriptions of important UMC emphases.
